Why does any government inflate the money supply?  Debasing the currency is
a favorite hobby for governments going back to the Romans and beyond.  Why
would the good old USA be any different?  Once Nixon severed the link to
gold in 1971, the money supply was at the complete mercy of the limited
wisdom of fallible human beings, and we got the monetary chaos we have
experienced for the past 30 years.


Oh yes, it's much more sensible to give ourselves over the growth in
the gold supply. Why? Dunno, must have something to do with god or
something.
