"I believe that BANKING INSTITUTIONS ARE MORE DANGEROUS to our liberties than standing armies," Jefferson wrote. " If the American people ever allow private banks (aka The Fed) to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around(these banks) will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered." - Thomas Jefferson 😞🤦‍♂️🇺🇸
