Interesting.
Most folk do not realize just how much influence Hamilton had on the development of the Federal Government.
Never was President, but probably did more to shape things into our current state of affairs than most anyone else at the time.
Shoot, he'd be downright giddy to see the massive military and bureaucracy that we have today.

"He left the Grange on the morning of July 11, 1804, for a duel with Vice President Aaron Burr from which he did not return. "Best thing to ever happen in NJ.
It's thinkers like Hamilton who would have invented the federal reserve!

Were delighted that the president put it in the budget and the House of Representatives supported it.
I am not delighted. What a waste of money. If it is dilapidated, tear it down. Now for those who don't agree with me, I can't wait unit 20 years from now when they agree to move the Clinton palace from Hope for thirty million. I hope that you don't complain.
