As parents, we can have no joy, knowing that this government is not sufficiently lasting to ensure any thing which we may bequeath to posterity: And by a plain method of argument, as we are running the next generation into debt, we ought to do the work of it, otherwise we use them meanly and pitifully.

–Thomas Jefferson, Letter to James Madison, 1787
If only we paid more attention to the brilliance of our founders…
