1835 was the first and only year when the United States declared its national debt to be zero under Andrew Jackson on January 8. Until and thereafter we have always been a debtor nation. 22 days after the announcement, on January 30, an unemployed house painter named Richard Lawrence attempted to assassinate Jackson but failed when both his pistols misfired. Jackson then charged Lawrence and beat him with a cane. Thoughts? Thanks!    IN NECESSARIIS UNITAS - IN DUBIIS LIBERTAS - IN OMNIBUS CARITAS THE MAN IN THE ARENA, Theodore Roosevelt at the Sorbonne Paris on April 23, 1910: " It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself in a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
