    I recently noticed something interesting while reading one of the federalist papers for a US government class:

    “A rage for paper money, for an abolition of debts, for an equal division of property, or for any other improper or wicked project, will be less apt to pervade the whole body of the union, than a particular member of it” -James Madison, the guy who drafted the constitution
