I agree with you, the situation is worse than what the public realizes. I think this is deliberate.
It is. In another thread, someone mentioned cost-benefit analysis, the implication being that no rational individual would seek this sort of chaos much less engineer it. But here's the problem: we're not dealing with 'rational men'. We're dealing with monsters.
The only 'cost-benefit anaylsis' these monsters care about concerns who is left to rule from atop a heap of rubble and corpses.
A new feudalism (or worse) and a world lit only by fire will suit them just fine as long as they they believe that they will be the ones in the high castle.
Most of us dead. The rest of us in chains. That’s their cost-benefit analysis.

The devaluation is deliberate.
The goal is to accomplish the devaluation and resultant increase in prices and then wages and then taxes with control. The rate will be such that the pressure will be relieved before economic vessel explodes.
