Government, as executive and regulatory function, is the nervous system, while money and banking are blood and the circulation system.
With public government and private banking, the banks rule, since they are not subject to the same degrees of oversight and control the finances of anyone running for office. So the only real job the flunkies allowed in office have, is to run up the debt the banks need to back their assets.
The military and wars are a way to burn off the borrowed money in ways that compensate for their lack of real authority, so it's like delinquent children with matches and gasoline to entertain themselves.
The stage actors have devolved into psychopaths.
