I love Thomas Jefferson. I love his ideals and principles. He had so much depth and knowledge in his teachings. I love the fact that he stated the truths over 200 years ago that have come to burden us now. Listen to this quote concerning banks - " I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. Already they have raised up a monied aristocracy that has set the government at defiance. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people to whom it properly belongs."

Well, last time I checked, the FEDERAL RESERVE, which is a PRIVATE BANK, is milking every American for what they're worth! Our fiscal policies are embarassing as witnessed by the over 9 trillion dollar government debt! How does that happen? It happened as soon as Congress allowed the Federal Reserve to come into full power in 1938. Ugh, that debt presses our money into tighter and tighter quarters and weakens our purchasing power on a daily basis. That is one example of Jefferson's knowledge.

Another quote Thomas Jefferson stated concerning liberty and health, " Liberty is to the collective body, what health is to every individual body. Without health no pleasure can be tasted by man; without liberty, no happiness can be enjoyed by society."

Liberty and health are 2 wonderful ingredients of a full life!

Thomas Jefferson was a wise and knowledgeable President. I wish someone with his capacity of knowledge would lead us today.
