Andrew Jackson for President?

"Gentlemen, I have had men watching you for a long time and I am convinced that you have used the funds of the bank to speculate in the breadstuffs of the country. When you won, you divided the profits amongst you, and when you lost, you charged it to the bank. You tell me that if I take the deposits from the bank and annul its charter, I shall ruin ten thousand families. That may be true, gentlemen, but that is your sin! Should I let you go on, you will ruin fifty thousand families, and that would be my sin! You are a den of vipers and thieves." -Andrew Jackson, 7th US President

Milk Bone(R) to The Financial Ninja for the above quote; he goes further into the story, but I thought this was eerily similar to today. What a surprise; it's possible to actually repeat historical mistakes? Say it ain't so...I for one am not looking forward to getting cut open again for non-foodstuffs I gulped down. C'mon: who knew squeaky balls weren't food? Why could I swallow them, then, huh?
