US taxpayers are being enrolled in an economic chain gang

London Daily Telegraph

"To preserve the People's independence, we must not let our rulers load us with perpetual debt. We must make our selection between economy and liberty, or profusion and servitude. Banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. The principle of spending money to be paid by posterity is but swindling futurity on a large scale. If we run into such debt, as we must be taxed in our meat and in our drink, in our necessaries and our comforts. We will have no means of calling our mis-managers to account but be glad to obtain subsistence by hiring ourselves to rivet their chains on the necks of our fellow sufferers."
-President Thomas Jefferson
