"I have never yet had anyone who could, through the use of logic and reason, justify the Federal Government borrowing the use of its own money. I believe the time will come when people will demand that this be changed. I believe the time will come in this country when they will actually blame you and me and everyone else connected with the Congress for sitting idly by and permitting such an idiotic system to continue."
by:
Wright Patman
[John William Wright Patman] (1893-1976) US Congressman (TX-D)
Source:
Congressman Patman was chairman of the House of Representatives Committee on Banking and Currency for 40 years; for 20 of those years he introduced legislation to repeal the Federal Reserve Banking Act of 1913.

Reader comments about this quote:
Oh that the chattel would rise was accurate. Those that genuflect at the alter of an idiotic debt system as willing helots, serfs and slaves will continue their idol worship in the forms provided them. Logic and reason will not supersede religion as long as supporting practitioners of the occupying statist theocracy infesting this land rely on carnal gods services and tyranny.

    Simply doing the math, I do not think the system will last another 50 years.  Will that signal the end of the world?  We must only hope that the 'remnant' will retain the wisdom against ever following this path again...
