Default hard to believe........

Here's a quote by Thomas Jefferson that really struck me betreen the eyes... (remember, he wrote this over 200 years ago!)

"'The central bank is an institution of the most deadly hostility existing against the Principles and form of our Constitution... Bankers are more dangerous than standing armies... (and) if the American people allow private banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and CORPORATIONS that will grow up around them will deprive the People of all their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their Fathers conquered."

Who were these prophetic men, our Founding Fathers? They seem almost on another plateau compared with their contemporaries, and posessed a knowledge that at times appear to be almost supernatural when one understands all that they achieved. I am always in awe when I read their work. I especially like reading the Federalist papers.
Our current group of 'fathers' would do well to stop peeing on our legs and telling us it is only rain. They have lavished too much upon themselves by leveraging the public trough of taxpayer money.
