Thomas Jefferson: Fortune Teller

If the American people ever allow the banks to control the issuance of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers occupied … I sincerely believe the banking institutions having the issuing power of money are more dangerous to liberty than standing armies. ~ Thomas Jefferson

Jefferson was a true Renaissance man, probably a genius. He was a noted inventor, archaeologist, arechitect, scholor of history, political philosopher, and masterful politician. What I didn't know was he was also a fortune teller. If he couldn't see the future how else could he have written so accurately a description of todays monitary environment?
