Government, as executive and regulatory function, is the nervous system of the state.

Money and banking function as blood and the circulation system.

With public government and private banking, the banks rule. Less oversight, no elections to plan around and control the finances of anyone running for office.

So the only real job the flunkies allowed in have, is running up the debt the banks need to grow metastatically.

When was the last time you heard of a politician referred to as a "statesman?"

Russia and China have essentially gone back to private government, with Putin and Xi as respective CEO's, to control their oligarchs. Which is why our oligarchs and their armies of political and media flunkies hate them so passionately.

We are linear, goal oriented creatures in a cyclical, circular, reciprocal feedback generated reality. So while markets need money to circulate, people see it as signal to save and store. Consequently Econ 101 considers it both medium of exchange and store of value.

Blood is a medium, fat is a store. Roads are a medium, parking lots are a store. The hallway is a medium, the hall closet is a store. Would the average 5 year old understand the difference?

To store the asset side of the ledger, you need a debt to back it.

Given the military is the only public works project all the factions can agree to, our political stage actors are out playing cowboys and indians on the other side of the planet, while the country rots.

Give delinquent children matches and gasoline and they become arsonists.

So we have this world, drowning in debt, so the ones at the crest of the wave can claim near infinite wealth.

When that wave crashes, the armored Mercedes will be no match for the rocket propelled grenades.
