"Romney's Got US Bailout for Being Refugees when Fleeing Mexican War
Mitt's grandpa ran as fast as he could to Utah as soon as the Mexican Revolution broke out. Because the Romney's were considered "Refugees" The U.S. Army supplied rations and loaned tents from Fort Bliss. Mayor C. E. Kelly and city officials joined Church leaders in finding homes and jobs for the refugees. Congress voted to give them $100,000 for their transportation and relief. If you calculate $100,000 for inflation from 1912, the figure turns into over $2.2 million in today's dollar.

In 1935 Romney Family Sued Mexico
The Boston Globe reported:

After fleeing the Mexican Revolution, Mitt Romney’s grandfather, Gaskell lost his home and possessions in Mexico. While living in Salt Lake City, Gaskell Romney sued Mexico for the loss of his property and, in 1938, was awarded damages of $9,163. Half of the money went to his son, George Romney, putting the family on a solid financial footing during the Great Depression.
In today's dollar that means Romney's $9,163.00 Settlement would equal $1,890,000.00. "

As long as they paid tithing, no problem.

It makes no sense to methat the U.S. dollar would be worth far less in 1912 than it was in 1938. Also, I ran $9,000 (1938) in "The Inflation Calculator" and it came to about $140,000 (contemporary).

Forget the inflation calculator. Run it based on the price of gold.
