Yep - scary stuff. But the direction we're heading seems to be some new weird strange hybrid of everything that is anti-liberty - don't even know what to call it. A kind of fascio-socialism, where the government not only tells you what to do, but also owns most of the so-called private business by virtue of owning their stock (paid for with inflated printed money), while having the power to do whatever they want to you with progressively little recourse because they also own the media and the court systems. Hyperinflation could be the least of our worries.
