 ☞ “(…), your dollar will be worth just as much tomorrow as it is today.” -Richard Nixon in 1971 when he temporarily abandoned the #goldstandard in 1971.

since he said this after the deed was done he was not lying. The dollar was worth 0 once it was depegged. so the next day it would also be worth 0. It just still COST a dollar.
