Power of the Banking Institutions

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered."
~ Thomas Jefferson 1802 ~

An amazing point to be made from over 200 years ago by one of the more infamous of our founding fathers. Just would like to hear thoughts on this particular quote - if there's anyone out there listening/reading that is. ^_^

Glad to hear about the denial of the $25 million bailout to the automakers this morning; though it was a bitter-sweet victory due to the announcement of Clinton to the Secretary of State position. Still, I find amusement in the anger of all those Obama fans who "voted for him because they didn't want another Clinton." Guess the guy wasn't the change that he claimed he was....huh, who could have imagined that?!
