I see what you did there. How much was a loaf of bread when Washington was in office?
How does this compare to the Bush years?
Well it depends on how you measure it. If you measure it in pennies or dollars you will find that there may be some level of parity that is not too far out of whack, however if you measure it in what the dollar is WORTH in gold you will likely there is a huge disparity. As the value of the dollar falls compared to any measurable commodity that remains modestly stable you find that value is what you want to compare, not absolute cost.
The reason for this is simple. A $100 suit from the early 1800's is probably comparable to a $2500 suit today. But a suit worth 2 ounces of gold in the early 1800's and is comparable to a suit that is worth 2 ounces of gold today.
So when you ask for comparisons you need to actually compare value or worth, not an arbitrary number of dollars that float in value as fiat currency that is not based on a commodity.
