Yes, and a search through Fort Knox would yield many gold ingots,
while a search through a cow pasture would yield much manure.

I volunteer for the search of Fort Knox! Perhaps along the way I can
locate all the missing funds from the USCF. But who will undertake the
search in the cow pasture? :^)


Don't expect to find very much gold left.

The USA stopped backing the dollar with gold a long
time ago, replacing the precious metal with fluffery --
much like Mr. Parr. Since there need be nothing
whatsoever to back it, the printing presses are red-hot;
and like other fabrications, paper dollars will ultimately
be seen for what they really are.

Now for the good news: because there is no need to
back it up, both Uncle Sam and Larry Parr can produce
all the fluffery they want, at practically zero cost! As for
integrity -- who needs it? And as for inflation numbers,
they can be (and already have been) quite easily doctored.
