Fake Jefferson quote!
a reasonably close paraphrase of the closing sentence in Jefferson's to John Taylor:
And I sincerely believe, with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity( future generations) on a large scale.
Is that not what is going on now?http://www.snopes.com/quotes/jefferson/banks.asp
