“By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of their citizens. There is no subtler, no surer means of overturning the existing basis of society than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose.”
– John Maynard Keynes
The USS Keynes is on route
With missiles and planes prepped to shoot
We’ll make you feel great
With the debt we create
While the wealth of your nation we loot
