The ponzi scam works to keep US working for the banking cartels, growing our cumulative debt, until the banking cartels decide inflation is too high and they hit the reset button ... which is deadly to a great many people but allows the banking cartels to start again with an newly accumulated portfolio of real assets bought up or 'repossessed' during the collapse they structured. You can see the entire process at work in countries like Ecudaor, Argentina, etc. The world is ruled by the banking powers, the elite bankers who are the only trillionaires ont he planet.
