Last night I recorded this program on PBS. It is a nice warm-up to the debates tonight.
I’ve often wondered what Thomas Jefferson would think about our current situation, but this program makes me wonder what Hamilton would think. Hamilton pushed hard for a strong central government, but I wonder if he would have wanted it this strong. Would he agree with the current “aristocracy” that is running our governement?
“It’s not tyranny we desire; it’s a just, limited, federal government.”
Is that what we have now?
