Who Said It?, Round 2

Friday, May 25, 2012 at 9:07 am

So maybe round #1 was a little too easy. Sometimes it's easy to forget how wise and learned the Turdites are. OK, smartypants, have a go at this one.

"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and the corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wakeup 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."

Ahead of the 3-day, holiday weekend in the U.S., I'm preparing a rather large amount of thought-provoking and insightful information for you so please be sure to check back later today.

New procedure should be to swear on your shiny stack that you didn't paste the paragraph in google, then answer.

I know diddlely-squat so that's what I did.

It's made up

Submitted by billwilson on May 25, 2012 - 9:20am.

As noted above this is NOT a real quote!

http://www.snopes.com/quotes/jefferson/banks.asp

Google is your friend as is Snopes. Beware these forwarded quotes from right wing loonies. Most of them are made up (or altered).

The easy clues on this one were the uses of the words like "deflation" and "corporation", words unlikely to have been used in Jefferson's time.

.... and the Euro drops under 1.25 (very briefly so far)... and gold does not follow .... Maybe just maybe we finally get the needed disconnect.

I think this is very encouraging that the metals are

Again, a flight to safety! Who knows what the 3 day weekend will bring.. cover shorts!

Fake or not?

I understand that these words were uttered by President Jefferson in 1809. Allegedly, he was speaking in opposition to the recharter of the original "Bank Bill", which was authorized in 1791 for a period of just 20 years.

At any rate, we already have a winner. "DaddyO" please email me your shipping info!

When did President Jefferson start rolling in his grave?

Submitted by OC15 on May 25, 2012 - 9:32am.

A. 1913

B. 1933

C. 1971

D. All of the above, the velocity of spinning in his grave increased at each date.

Well as it's a fake...

Submitted by tpbeta on May 25, 2012 - 9:32am.

...the correct answer must be someone from the United States Congress. Senate. Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, General Farm Legislation: Hearings Before a Subcommittee of the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, United States Senate, Seventy-fifth Congress, Second Session, Pursuant to S. Res. 158, a Resolution to Provide for an Investigation of Agricultural Commodity Prices, of an Ever-normal Granary... (Washington, D.C.: GPO, 1937), 3607.

That's the first recorded use of the phrase. Deflation was not an economic concept when Jefferson was alive, so I'm told.

First of all

I found this quote yesterday in a book about a return to the gold standard.

Second of all, what about it is "right wing"? Shit, can we please cut out the left/right garbage? We're all screwed, regardless of whether you follow donkeys or elephants.
