Tell us why/how the Soviet Union fell.
They are indeed---PhonySnark would not understand this------nor care.1. Destroy its borders.

The Soviet Union fell because there were revolutions going on like the one in Poland funded in part by the Polish Pope of the Catholic Church (which nearly bankrupted the Church) and parts of the Iron curtain were following suit or about to... leaving the USSR in a quandary.
Essentially it was Gorbachev and Perestroika vs hard line Generals.
And the hardliners lost power and credibility because they could not spend anymore on the military... the way Reagan threatened to spend on Star Wars. (it was estimated 30 percent of their GDP was already going to the military already)
Which was leaving them with problems... their infrastructure was crumbling and they had issues because the people, the food and the materials for manufacturing were not sync up well as the command economy was not investing properly.
So... with hard line generals were already consumed with matching Reagans threat of spending on Star Wars...
The command economy was falling apart...
Gorbachev won out and the wall fell as Reagan demanded and the Soviet Union fell.

Increasing the dysgenic percentage of the population would certainly lead to less productivity and increased consumption which of course = decline .
Rock and Roll and Levi’s blue jeans and decades of isolation and strategic defense.
That is actually a simplified version of the prediction my econ professor briefed Congress with about a year before it happened. The amazing thing is that it happened as he predicted.... in the Congress booklets we got to read.
He worked for Congress at time and shared the briefing papers and books.
He and his team even developed a way to evaluate the Russian economy using goods instead of prices. That is how they estimated 30 percent of their GDP was going to the military and it was unlikely it could not be sustained indefinitely.

About currency, there is a fine line.1. Destroy its borders.

What Democrats want is to suck the value out of your savings and liquid assets by printing.
Democrats don't necessarily want hyper-inflation or just plain old stagflation. The question is how much can be printed in order to steal the value of savings without becoming Zimbabwe?
To their defense it must be admitted that they have been handed a runaway train with the accelerator mashed to the floor (special train with pedals), a tradition started by Alan Greenspan under George W. Bush. Once the Fed became unresponsive to the overheating housing market around 2004 they effectively lost control authority over the system.
Even a hint of raising rates at this point would possibly crash parts of the economy and burst a series of bubbles. Ouch.
Had the 1.9 trillion dollars in Covid relief been directed, in part, towards infrastructure this latest round of printing might have made some sense.
The other tentacles are income taxes, wealth (asset) taxes and ultimately a national VAT. Oh and I forgot the Carbon Tax. Gas prices have increased about $1.00 per gallon in the short time President Putz has been in office.
TonySnark is too busy starting threads about Black people being called names to care about anything else of importance.
