Things may get interesting if the price of a Big Mac rises to $200 and the next COLA adjustment is 8 months away. Have we ever seen a welfare state that's undergone high inflation or hyper-inflation?

I said this before. The welfare state are going to get hit the hardest (OT minorities and woman hit hardest). That big Mac does not have to get to $200. It will only take rising to $20, along with everything associated with it. And the welfare state will scream for mo' money.
