It is literally true that the toleration of banks of paper discount costs the United States one-half their war taxes; or, in other words, doubles the expenses of every war. Now think but for a moment, what a change of condition that would be, which should save half our war expenses, require but half the taxes, and enthral us in debt but half the time.

Thomas Jefferson

The God who gave us life gave us liberty at the same time; the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them.
