<p>^^Lol! That was a cute comeback.</p>
<p>^Haha, I’ll check it out.</p>
<p>Today I was reading my APUSH textbook. I got to the part where Alexander Hamilton was trying to create a national bank. The bank (which would be funded by private investors who bought shares of stock) would raise $10 million dollars in revenue while costing the US government nothing. In short, it was a great idea.</p>
<p>It sparked immediate controversy among members of Congress. They accused Hamilton of unconstitutionalism and tyranny. Jefferson said that the bank was “a machine for the corruption of the legislature.” John Taylor of Virginia predicted that its vast wealth would enable the bank to take over the country, which would thereafter, he quipped, be known as “the United States of the Bank.”</p>
<p>Sorry for the history lesson, but I was laughing so hard…Oh, Congress.</p>
