Jefferson warned us about banks

May I quote Thomas Jefferson?

In 1802 he said: “I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties that standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around the banks will deprive the people of all their property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

Sound familiar?
