What will you do when your $1 million retirement  savings only buys a loaf of bread?

For most of human history, the economic elites have preferred to get most people heavily in debt, start deflation, and make debt more of a burden to helpless people who had to borrow to stay alive. The debtors usually find themselves constricted severely in means of meeting their obligations, and those means get increasingly difficult. In the end the personal debt becomes impossible to meet and the debtor is effectively enslaved.

Hyperinflation is hard to identify by a position on the political spectrum. It can be done by left-wing dictators like Robert Mugabe or by right-wing dictators. The idea is to steal savings, and when the savings are gone so is the capital.

America's economic elites have typically liked 'solid money' to thwart competition and to make debt sting.
The ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the dedicated Communist  but instead the people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction, true and false, no longer exists -- Hannah Arendt.
