Republicans were very happy to see the "end of welfare as we know it"; now they are scared to take notice of the end of the US dollar as we know it. In reality, the US dollar died on August 15, 1971 when Mr. Nixon closed the "Gold Window".
Now, who should be afraid of massive inflation? The rich should certainly be more wary than the poor: the poor are used to pay their basic necessities with food stamps, they have no savings and they spend right away the few dollars they get.
