Jefferson was concerned about an uneducated democracy... so, he basically predicted 1Nut.
"Thomas Jefferson believed democracy was a fragile, worthy experiment requiring an educated citizenry to function. He advocated for a republic supported by local self-government, fearing that a centralized, uneducated democracy would fail. He considered informed public opinion essential to governance and feared the tyranny of both minority wealth (aristocracy) and majority rule.

"The system of banking we have both equally and ever reprobated. I contemplate it as a blot left in all our constitutions, which, if not covered, will end in their destruction, which is already hit by the gamblers in corruption, and is sweeping away in its progress the fortunes and morals of our citizens.
Funding I consider as limited, rightfully, to a redemption of the debt within the lives of a majority of the generation contracting it; every generation coming equally, by the laws of the Creator of the world, to the free possession of the earth he made for their subsistence, unincumbered by their predecessors, who, like them, were but tenants for life ...
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."
Thomas Jefferson
A $38 Billion Program Under the Microscope
"The DHS OIG recently announced an 'audit of ICE's acquisition of detention space,' a review that will cover all 11 vacant warehouses US ICE purchased over just a few months last winter. The program, formally known as the ICE Detention Reengineering Initiative, was funded through the One Big Beautiful Bill passed by congressional Republicans and planned to dedicate $38.3 billion to retrofitting commercial warehouses into detention centres capable of holding more than 92,000 detainees."

DHS also wasted a king's ransom purchasing a fleet of marked vehicles that ICE can't use because of Kristi Noem's 28-year-old idiotic assistant Madison Sheahan who has since left DHS with her tail between her legs and is risibly running for congress in Ohio. Good-for-nothing Corey Lewandowski signed off on her ridiculous purchase order of the useless ICE vehicles, another blow to the wallets and purses of the hardworking American taxpayer.
