The best thing for our country, and quite possibly the world, is to
destroy the Fed.
"It is a miserable arithmetic which makes any single privation whatever
so painful as a total privation of everything which must necessarily
follow the living so far beyond our income." --Thomas Jefferson to
William Hay, 1787. ME 6:223
"The system of banking [i] have... ever reprobated. I contemplate it as
a blot left in all our Constitutions, which, if not covered, will end
in their destruction, which is already hit by the gamblers in
corruption, and is sweeping away in its progress the fortunes and
morals of our citizens." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME
15:18
"I sincerely believe... that banking establishments are more dangerous
than standing armies, and that the principle of spending money to be
paid by posterity under the name of funding is but swindling futurity
on a large scale." --Thomas Jefferson to John Taylor, 1816. ME 15:23
"It is said that our paper is as good as silver, because we may have
silver for it at the bank where it issues. This is not true. One, two,
or three persons might have it; but a general application would soon
exhaust their vaults, and leave a ruinous proportion of their paper in
its intrinsic worthless form." --Thomas Jefferson to John W. Eppes,
1813. ME 13:426
And most important of all:
"The incorporation of a bank and the powers assumed [by legislation
doing so] have not, in my opinion, been delegated to the United States
by the Constitution. They are not among the powers specially
enumerated." --Thomas Jefferson: Opinion on Bank, 1791. ME 3:146
