When you say "the government can't devalue it by printing more," that shows a pretty shallow understanding of economics. Are you thinking there's only so much gold owned by the government, and each printed dollar represents a share of that gold? That hasn't been true for a long time. Are you thinking there's only so much money in the world, so we should never print more since that dilutes the pool? That's not correct either. Economics isn't an easy subject, and I'm far from knowledgeable about it myself, but I do know that the sound bites favored by TV personalities are all about pushing political agendas, and not at all related to actual, you know, truth.
