The virus of Ego (Federal bank)

Ego acts as a virus, in that it destroys its host.

Criminals commit a crime. Smart criminals get away with their crime, become overwhelmed with pride for escaping, start thinking they're *way too smart to get caught*, which causes them to make a mistake, and get caught.

The Federal Bank is the only entity that can print money.

The US spent too much money due to war.(committed a crime) To rectify the issue, they removed the gold standard from the monetary system. (get away with crime). Create a system where money is printed on need basis. Start two wars (way too smart to get caught).

I feel like the monetary system has crumbled upon its own genius, much like it is the criminal's own ego that will eventually expose him.
