Even Woodrow Wilson regretted signing the Federal Reserve Act after he realized the monster he had given control of our nation over to. Thankfully, he died with that on his conscience.
yep.
I am a most unhappy man. I have unwittingly ruined my country. A great industrial nation is controlled by its system of credit. Our system of credit is concentrated. The growth of the nation, therefore, and all our activities are in the hands of a few men. We have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men.
- Woodrow Wilson

Most of that quote comes from a passage in one of Wilson's books, "The New Freedom: A Call for the Emancipation of the Generous". The passage from that actually reads, "We have restricted credit, we have restricted opportunity, we have controlled development, and we have come to be one of the worst ruled, one of the most completely controlled and dominated Governments in the civilized world no longer a Government by free opinion, no longer a Government by conviction and the vote of the majority, but a Government by the opinion and duress of a small group of dominant men."

And he wasn't talking about the Federal Reserve because that book was published early in 1913 while the Federal Reserve Act wasn't passed until December.
