Collapse related because when the rich tell the poor "the solution to inflation is tighten your belts" it means your country is fucked. Austerity, y'all.

Yeah! A-a-and when that's not enough, we can expand it, again and again, as much as we need to, until it does! Hey wait, you guys aren't going to eat my face off... a-are you? :-P

That's been Russia's model for millennia: "the reason you all have to starve is so we can stick it to those OTHER people over THERE - but keep it up, b/c we're WINNING!"

That did not work out so well for them, but hey sure, I guess we're going to give it a try ourselves regardless...
