Wikipedia article on hyperinflation
en.wikipedia.org

"Governments will often try to disguise the true rate of
inflation through a variety of techniques. These can include
the following:

1) Outright lying as to official statistics such as money supply, inflation or reserves.

2) Suppression of publication of money supply statistics, or inflation indices.

3) Price and wage controls.

4) Forced savings schemes, designed to suck up excess
liquidity. These savings schemes may be described as pensions
schemes, emergency funds, war funds, or similar.

5) Adjusting the components of the Consumer Price Index, to
remove those items whose prices are rising the fastest. "

I believe all 5 are happening in our country today. Given
that the Fed is clearly not concerned about the value of
our currency, hyperinflation is a very likely outcome of
the dollar crisis.
