Quote

“At the time we were funding our national debt, we heard much about 'a public debt being a public blessing'; that the stock representing it was a creation of active capital for the aliment of commerce, manufactures and agriculture. This paradox was well adapted to the minds of believers in dreams...” (Thomas Jefferson, Writings of Thomas Jefferson, 13:420.)
