Hamilton wanted a banking system that was built around debt and the value of debt.

Hence, also the first BUS (Bank of the United States) with all of its misguided principles.

But, the sad reality is that they are okay with it because debt is capital on any accounting ledger in the world and capital means wealth.
Money makes the world go round and if you know how to make money work for you then..."Those who have the money make the rules and those who make the rules make the most money."
