We'll take Benjamin Franklin over any politician alive today. Just a week after signing the Treaty of Paris to officially end the war with Great Britain, Franklin wrote to Josiah Quincy to “rejoice” in the new peace: "May we never see another War! for in my Opinion there never was a good War, or a bad Peace.” #war #peace #founders #liberty #libertarian

Blame the Constitution? Words on Paper Don’t Enforce Themselves A small, but vocal faction would have you believe that the Constitution itself is the cause of the monster state today. Another wants you to believe that the solution is to just get the words right in the document. But this defies the expectations and views of many leading founders, who considered even their own work a mere “parchment barrier.” https://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2021/06/blame-the-constitution-words-on-paper-dont-enforce-themselves/

Thomas Jefferson and his fellow Democrat-Republicans in Congress knocked about $26 million ($420,8 million in 2018 dollars) off the debt through his two terms in office — this despite taking on an additional $13 million of added debt for the Louisiana Purchase. How did they do it? Well, it was pretty simple. They cut spending and applied remarked the savings toward paying down debt. https://tenthamendmentcenter.com/2021/08/11/thomas-jeffersons-blueprint-for-dealing-with-the-national-debt/

Relying on the government to protect you from the government - is a pretty bad choice. #truth #warning #libertarian #constitution #10thAmendment
