Nonsense.

You clearly have no idea what you are talking about. Jefferson, for all of his flaws, was for limited government.

Read Gore Vidal’s “Burr”.

Fascinating.

Also, I should note, Vidal’s scholarship is impeccable.

Anyway, Burr’s opinions regarding Jefferson are interesting and enlightening regarding this thread...

I second Fred's motion.

I cannot take your comments seriously.

Jefferson hated debt and warned of it, both public and private. His letter to Samuel Kercheval serves this argument well.

The soul source of power for today’s liberals is debt. Jefferson would want no part of that.

Don’t read a NY Slimes article and make a decision. This is the Progressives’s bible and about as truthful as Joseph Goebbles.

You’re talking about the author of the Declaration of Independence and a main contributor to the Constitution
