I know the founders’ sentiment in this. You can ignore the point if you’d like.

I know the founders' sentiment on this.

George Washington was a founder, and he signed the Bank of the U.S. into law (a nationally chartered private bank no less). Alexander Hamilton was a founder, and the strongest proponent of the Bank of the U.S. Ben Franklin, another founder, was a proponent of the Bank of North America (the first chartered private commercial bank in the U.S. and model for the Bank of the U.S.)

Jefferson blew his credibility on this issue when he pushed for the Louisiana Purchase. I'm glad he changed his mind.
