SamKat: $1 in 60's now buys $0.13 ... Thanks Lou F.!

Welcome

For Christian American readers of this blog:

I wish to incite all Christians to rise up and take back the United States of America with all of God's manifold blessings. We want the free allowance of the Bible and prayers allowed again in schools, halls of justice, and all governing bodies. We don't seek a theocracy until Jesus returns to earth because all men are weak and power corrupts the very best of them.
We want to be a kinder and gentler people without slavery or condescension to any.

The world seems to be in a time of discontent among the populace. Christians should not fear. God is Love, shown best through Jesus Christ. God is still in control. All Glory to our Creator and to our God!

A favorite quote from my good friend, Jack Plymale, which I appreciate:

"Wars are planned by old men,in council rooms apart. They plan for greater armament, they map the battle chart, but: where sightless eyes stare out, beyond life's vanished joys, I've noticed,somehow, all the dead and mamed are hardly more than boys(Grantland Rice per our mutual friend, Sarah Rapp)."

Thanks Jack!

I must admit that I do not check authenticity of my posts. If anyone can tell me of a non-biased arbitrator, I will attempt to do so more regularly. I know of no such arbitrator for the internet.

$1 in 60's now buys $0.13 ... Thanks Lou F.!

How much would 1 us dollar be worth in the 1960's?

1 US dollar in 1960 was worth 1 dollar, however the buying power of that dollar has changed drastically. The annual inflation rate from 1960 to 2011 has been 4.02%, from that we can determine that what you could buy for $1.00 in 1960 would cost you $7.46 today. Looking at it the other way, what you can buy for a dollar today cost only 13c in 1960!
