If you want to get some more laughs, at the expense of that great simpleton. Thank goodness we are SO MUCH SMARTER than him!

Jefferson opposed the First Bank of the United States on Constitutional grounds. Fortunately, Washington realized that Jefferson was full of it, ignored his protests and signed the bill proposed by Hamilton. The sound finances of the Federal Government enabled the United States to buy Louisiana from Napoleon with US Bonds. Yes, the USA had a better credit rating than France in 1803.

Jefferson was an expert on many issues; finance was not one of them.

For his efforts Hamilton earned the undying hatred of the Jeffersonians and their followers blackened his reputation for decades to come.
