Andrew Jackson despised government debt with a bloody passion, along with bloated tax money sucking banks.

Remind your liberal friends about this when they are headed to the annual Democrap Jefferson-Jackson fundraising dinners.

Recommended read about Jackson: “American Lion” by Meacham.

Jackson actually paid off the national debt in 1836. Followed by the Panic of 1837. "Old Hickory" had appealing qualities, much like Teddy Roosevelt did later, but in the end neither was a friend of Americans seeking small government and liberty.
