Many thanks for posting this debate. There's a lot to be considered coming from both sides.

[@samy4985]

Yes, they're both wrong.

Starve the Leviathan?
He has wonderful powers. He also represents the absolute authority to defend the nation.
I'm quite sure Master Hobbes will express his outrage.

Lincoln was no fan of the Constitution and violated it regularly. Hamilton was also no friend of the Constitution and thought it was weak and didn't allow him to be king for life.

Sounds like Jefferson understood exactly what a bank is. Listening to two big government anti-Constitutionalists arguing about what the right way to screw Americans is painful.
