Yes, our economy is basd on the *idea* that our money is worth something. Between ignorance and dependance, we really are in a pickle. So long as we continue to print money out of thin air, the dollar will lose value.
I stongly suggest that if you wish to invest, do so in gold or something that will keep it's value. I've recently started buying portions of gold and keeping them in this huge safe that almost killed me when I tried bringing it down the stairs into the basement. I figure if a theif can get it up the stairs, they've earned the gold.
As for fixing the problem, we'd need to balance the budget and get back in the black again, then invest in some sort of system to back the USD. I'm not sure if gold will work becuase there may not be enough gold to back every USD printed.
