We’ve been told the good guys have won, but modern history paints a different picture. As far back a WWII we have seen a government ready to throw lives away to fund the war industry, print and launder money, and consolidate power/strip freedoms on a global scale. 

I don’t disagree that taking away their money  prevents this, but I have a hard time seeing how, in the short term that happens. My concern is that by the time their money dries up it could be too late.
