One would need to have already done their spending. Workers would have to spend a lot of their time re-negotiating their wages twice a day, lol.
The people who did the 125% cash-out re-fis at 6 1/4 fixed to buy new cars, boats, etc., would look like genuises with the prime rate @ 25%. The few j6p net creditors would get screwed, but that's the small minority. Those with gold would do fine until govmnt pulls an "FDR" and makes holding physical illegal. I remember the black market in Krugerrands back in the '70s when the inflation handwriting was on the wall, but it was still illegal to own gold.
