Why?

Government, as executive and regulatory function, is the nervous system of society, while money and banking are blood and the circulation system.

When you have public government and private banking, the banks rule, because they control the finances of anyone aspiring to public office.

Now all the banks really need government for is the bonds. Money is an accounting device and in order to store/save the asset side of the ledger, you need the debt side. The secret sauce of capitalism is public debt backing private wealth.

So the only real job the flunkies allowed in office have, is running up the debt. Wars and the military are really just a way to spend it, so more can be borrowed, without empowering anyone who might question the situation. That's why they are so monumentally inept and no one is taken out and shot.

The problem being is the government is the decision making process, while markets and banking are like the gut and the circulation system. When the decision making process is suborned the appetites, everything goes out the window.

It used to be they at least pretended to have some morals, respect, responsibility, class, but the actors gave way to the psychopaths, because there was enormous power just laying around, but no responsibility or moral authority attached to it.

It was like giving delinquent children matches and gasoline to play with.

Now that Dr. Frankenstein has made the Monster, will they be able to put it back in the box, before......
