"In 1835, while serving as president, I paid off the entire national
debt—$58 million. But everything turned to shit, and the country went into a
severe economic depression from 1837 to 1844. So was my decision the right one
or not? I don't know. And about 160 years later, YOU still do not know whether
the existence of national debt is good or bad. One could argue that the
citizenry of 2013 is not a whole helluva lot smarter than those of my
day, and even I would not contradict that."
Andrew Jackson, seventh president of the United States.
