The worst thing is that governments try to justify this by saying that even if the crash in their currency is massive over a long period of time the economy has roughly grown just as much which means that people are roughly earning as many inflated dollars as the people were earning dollars backed by gold but this is a false premise, the economy would have grown anyway as we would had all of those technological advances and they are trying to mix those two concepts to confuse people and make it seem as if they have been doing a good job when that is not the case.
