A government nearly $18 Trillion in debt and with 1000 agencies, and all the government dependents - will need money. They don’t want to steal it from you, but they will have they have to.
My best guess - continued inflation and zero interest rates and money debasement to steal wages and savings. If the SHTF, then capital controls and confiscation of retirement plans. After that, various “one time” wealth taxes.

I’d think your analysis is correct.
The only upside I see on the financial outlook is that the Death Panels will be a big plus for Medicare and Social Security. Every year sliced off the lifespan is a big plus for their solvency.
