I don't know, man. Never in history has hyperinflation led to a permanent collapse of a government, only replacement with another, which eventually becomes just as shit as the previous one.
I fear they will just paper it over with more handouts. They'll invent something like "inflation compensation scheme" and normalize the fact that inflation numbers are out of control but handouts are keeping up, and you can still put food on the table, so everything is A-OK.
You certainly might be right. That is what has happened in the past. It really feels like America is on some sort of brink, though.
I don't think it's far-fetched, at all, that America could dissolve as a nation. What is far-fetched is that the remnants won't be some sort of nation states.

Damn, you might be onto something: Subsidized inflation.
