::I think you are misinterpreting this proposal. If no action was taken, any surplus would have been deposited into the Bank of the United States and made available for loans. Jefferson was still opposed to the bank at this time. [http://files.libertyfund.org/pll/quotes/38.html Here] is some context for the quote. It's all boasting about how he made the federal government smaller, less intrusive, and sounder financially. Of course, it's true that Jefferson was a man of many contradictions. After the federal government defaulted in November 1814 (a major event in American history that Obama claims never happened), Jefferson turned around on a lot of things. In fact, he basically adopted the Federalist agenda that he had spend so many years condemning. As President Madison (1809-1817) and other top [[Republicans (Jeffersonian) | Republicans]] were his followers, Jefferson ran the country for quite some time after he officially retired in 1809.

No offense meant, at all, but I would like to know before posting. Of course, if it is, a truly skilled satirist would never let on! Just checking in with the community!

::::::Well isn't the value of truth that it rings out through the nonsense? Isn't the marketplace supposed to handle that? I would certainly change "liberals" to "people" in that statement, just to catch everybody who deserves it. Sorry to be such a contrarian! As a professional philosopher (more an academic really, but that isn't very romantic) I often catch a debate when only a conversation was thrown.
