Great Danger to be Feared

Thomas Jefferson

“I place the economy among the first and most important virtues and public debt as the great danger to be feared. To preserve your independence, we must not let our leaders load us with perpetual debt. We mus t make our choice between economy and liberty or profusion and servitude.”

~ Thomas Jefferson

How true. I am always surprised on the foresight of our forefathers. Yet in all our access to knowledge and what we can learn from the past, we seem to resist all the common sense they wrote down for us.
