Thomas Jefferson is reputed to have said that, “If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”

That being the case, it's a good thing the banking system in this country is collapsing. The wrong people have been getting rich off of the common American for a long time. I predict that after the dust is settled we will see a new American emerge who is both intelligent and resourceful, who is more concerned with what he can produce than what he can consume.
