Government, as executive and regulatory function, is analogous to the central nervous system, while money and banking serve as blood and the circulation system of the communal body.

We have come to realize government is a public utility, but have not yet realized the same principle applies to banking. Which has given banking the upper hand, since they are not as subject to oversight and don't have to plan around election cycles.

Consequently they have hollowed out government, leaving increasingly spineless flunkies filling the roles, whose only real function, beyond protecting their benefactors, is creating as much public debt as possible, since it is a primary asset class for the banks and financial markets. The secret sauce of capitalism is public debt backing private wealth.

The wars are just a way to make it go away, so more can be borrowed.
