I'd guess that if hyperinflation were to occur in the welfare state, it would only be a matter of days before some neighborhoods descended into complete anarchy. Gov't transfer payments would continue on "as promised" but the value of those payments would be nil.
The plumber, the baker, the butcher and the dentist can raise their prices daily or hourly if need be. What can those dependent on gov't handouts do?
My take is that I would not want to live in any urban area. And whatever the Ferguson PD pays, it can't possibly be enough.
These are Ferguson officers...these are officers from other nearby jurisdictions sent in to keep the peace due to the UNREST fomented by the RaceBaiters in DC, the media and the Dept of Social Justice “report.”
If all MO police had BlueFlu...WHATS next? National Guard?
The government dependent are in the same position as those on fixed incomes; there is little they can do to combat our unreported inflation (though they can, and do, turn to crime in droves). The anarchy is here - not specifically in Ferguson, but in those areas of just about every city where law enforcement doesn’t even exist anymore.
Between illegals, the drug trade and welfare fraudsters, there hasn’t been a legitimate financial transaction in those areas in decades - it is complete anarchy.
