No it can not be justified. Considering it is impossible for the average citizen to wrap their heads around what it is exactly that governments do, it is merely a matter of trust as to whether or not you believe the government is acting morally and without bias. Because they have a duty to uphold economic growth there is also a conflict of interest in the sense that: governments need to stimulate private sector growth by maintaining a strong financial sector. The finance industry relies on regulation that is created by the government. They must breed off each other to survive, therefore they must have each others interest in mind in any move they make. This relationship is by no means symbiotic but merely parasitic and bound to be unsustainable in the long run.
