Thomas Jefferson on Debt
Relevant to a National Debt that grows beyond each generation... Letter from Thomas Jefferson to James Madison Sep 06 1789:
Then no man can, by natural right, oblige the lands he occupied, or the persons who succeed him in that occupation, to the paiment of debts contracted by him. For if he could, he might, during his own life, eat up the usufruct of the lands for several generations to come, & then the lands would belong to the dead, & not to the living, which would be the reverse of our principle.
…Then no generation can contract debts greater than may be paid during the course of it’s own existence.
