"It is incumbent on every generation to pay its own debts as it goes,"
-Thomas Jefferson
"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government," Jefferson added, a reminder to adhere to the basic limitations set forth in the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights – limitations on government that now no longer exist.
And lastly, this Jefferson quote gives me pause, as I consider how this generation is being brain-washed to think they need to look to government to care for them.
"I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them,"
-Thomas Jefferson

He feared, all those long years ago, what we are seeing happen with our very eyes.

WHAT? no hope and change???? no bailout????
I have a series of quotes from the Founding Fathers, include these from Thomas Jefferson. So worthy of reading and holding dear to our hearts. Our Republic, as the writer(s) of our Constitution planned to continue, is in the process of being horribly crumbled.
