It's funny how some things never change. Certain people will always view kiting checks as 'freedom'. There would be no revolution without the borrowed money, and there would be no country if our credit and currency was shit, so Hamilton was trying make the new Federal govt solvent with the only means at his disposal, tariffs and excise taxes. Good credit was always the British secret weapon. Your hero Jeff was a hypocrite who borrowed up to his ears but hated bankers.Fife wrote: Wed Nov 14, 2018 7:37 am It really is amazing how quickly Hamilton and his boy Washington consummated their counter-revolution.
The Whiskey Rebellion is really worthy of study.

Given the topic was the Federalist era, obviously Jeff is Thomas Jefferson, the preferred founding father of the many MHF members who despise Hamilton. Why do people who hate debt borrow anyway and then hate on their lenders to justify walking away from their debts? What's so noble and self reliant about being a deadbeat?Fife wrote: Wed Nov 14, 2018 12:20 pmWho is Jeff and who are you talking to about heroes?brewster wrote: Wed Nov 14, 2018 12:09 pmIt's funny how some things never change.

I agree, but in past discussions members defended TJ as having the right Anti-Federalist ideas for the states, in opposition to AH.Speaker to Animals wrote: Wed Nov 14, 2018 5:35 pm What makes you think we like him either? Dude saw the French revolution and liked what he saw.
