Even way back then, he understood the danger that has become current events

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control issue of their currency, first by inflation, then deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around these banks will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power of currency should te taken away from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs" Thomas Jefferson, 3rd President of the United States.
