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

Thomas Jefferson (Letter to the Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin, 1802)

What a call!!!!!!!

This is why Jefferson and Hamilton battled.

But Hamilton ended up being right in the end/long run. And Jefferson never did kill the US Bank like he said he would, it was just to helpful at the time.

Jefferson was out gunned by the federalist. In his time a National bank was not in the best interest. It is important that you consider the historical context of his political ideology. Jefferson was a strong proponent of states rights. He believed sovereignty should remain with the people. His views have been validated over and over. Hamilton's idea of government was overbearing. The national bank he created has set us up to exploited indefinitely. We are now to the point that we are taxing ordinary citizens and giving that money to the private sector. That is not my idea of freedom.

Correct me if I'm wrong but didn't Andrew Jackson try to kill U.S. banks and ended us causing a panic and depression?

I believe you are referring to the Second US bank. It concentrated power to the elite few and foreign nationalist. It was full of corruption and it in itself was a major contributing force to the economic deceit in the United States. We actually experienced an economic boom following the war of 1812. It is because of this boom that the fraud was able to go largely unnoticed.
