Dude, this is going to make you angry and huff and puff, but Jefferson never said what you quoted. A dead giveaway is that the term "inflation" wasn't used in regards to economics until around the Civil War. The same goes with the term "deflation". In Jefferson's time he'd have called it "Currency depreciation". I'm not sure what he'd have called "deflation" but it wouldn't have been "deflation".
Now Jefferson did write the thing about banking and standing armies, but he was referring to the belief that it was immoral for one generation to borrow to the point where the next generation had to pay off the debt. The full quote of that goes like this-
"And I sincerely believe with you, that banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies; and that the principle of spending money to be paid by posterity, under the name of funding, is but swindling futurity on a large scale." He wrote that in a letter to John Taylor in 1816. The inflation and deflation quote never appeared in anything Jefferson ever wrote and the first time that particular false quote actually appeared was in 1933. That's the earliest it's ever been found. That quote about inflation and deflation falsely attributed to Jefferson supposedly appeared in a publication entitled "The Debate Over the Recharter of the Bank Bill." However, such a publication doesn't actually exist. Or at least it's never been found.
So, no, Jefferson didn't say that and you are missing the meaning of what Jefferson is talking about with the banks being more dangerous than standing armies.
Also, the FDR quote, that's a real quote but you are either ignoring the context of the quote or you are unaware. FDR isn't talking about the Fed, he's referring most likely to the Bank of England. More specifically he's talking about the London Economic Conference-
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_Ec ... Conferenceand please don't make me post the whole letter FDR wrote containing the quote. It's long and I'd end up having to explain everything he's talking about in the letter and I really don't feel like doing that. But trust me, if you read the whole letter and understood what FDR was talking about, you'd understand a bit more about that tiny snippet you quoted and that it doesn't mean what you think it means or what some one else wants you to think what it means.
Now your second post has a bit more merit. Andrew Jackson's own words quoted from his own mouth that he believed that the most important thing he ever did was "I killed the Bank". He is of course referring to the 2nd Bank of the United States, which he did kill. More importantly, it was Andrew Jackson who paid off the entire US debt, completely, the debt which since Jackson we have never paid off and can't. But that's a whole other can of worms.
So, in conclusion, don't believe everything you hear....
