I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than 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 property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.

Thomas Jefferson, (Attributed)
3rd president of US (1743 - 1826)

We see this everyday at the Fed. A private bank who has been given the power to issue our currency.

Watch the situation in New York where Cuomo is bringing out the details of the internal situation of the bailouts and who told whom what. Keep your eyes on the roles that Paulsen and Bernanke played. Seems to me that some of what was done was blatently illegal. But, they will justify when pinned down that it was done for the good of the country - i.e. saving the economy from total collapse.
