Fiat monetary system, RIP?

David Galland believes collapse of the monetary system is well underway. That developing collapse was, of course, driven by social welfare spending or the "piñata" system of public finance.

Focus on the words "impossible," "highly disruptive," and "necessary" below and then be sure to read gman's answer to Tamil's question in the comments:
