    Ladies and gentlemen,
    you coulda been anywhere in the world tonight, but you’re here with us in New York City.
    Are you ready for a cabinet meeting???
    The issue on the table:
    Secretary Hamilton’s plan to assume state debt and establish a national bank.
    Secretary Jefferson, you have the floor, sir
    ‘Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.’
    We fought for these ideals; we shouldn’t settle for less
    These are wise words, enterprising men quote ‘em
    Don’t act surprised, you guys, cuz I wrote ‘em
    Oww
    But Hamilton forgets
    His plan would have the government assume state’s debts
    Now, place your bets as to who that benefits:
    The very seat of government where Hamilton sits
    Not true!
    Ooh, if the shoe fits, wear it
    If New York’s in debt—
    Why should Virginia bear it? Uh! Our debts are paid, I’m afraid
    Don’t tax the South cuz we got it made in the shade
    In Virginia, we plant seeds in the ground
    We create. You just wanna move our money around
    This financial plan is an outrageous demand
    And it’s too many damn pages for any man to understand
    Stand with me in the land of the free
    And pray to God we never see Hamilton’s candidacy
    Look, when Britain taxed our tea, we got frisky
    Imagine what gon’ happen when you try to tax our whisky
    Thank you, Secretary Jefferson. Secretary Hamilton, your response
    Thomas. That was a real nice declaration
    Welcome to the present, we’re running a real nation
    Would you like to join us, or stay mellow
    Doin’ whatever the hell it is you do in Monticello?
    If we assume the debts, the union gets
    A new line of credit, a financial diuretic
    How do you not get it? If we’re aggressive and competitive
    The union gets a boost. You’d rather give it a sedative?
    A civics lesson from a slaver. Hey neighbor
    Your debts are paid cuz you don’t pay for labor
    “We plant seeds in the South. We create.”
    Yeah, keep ranting
    We know who’s really doing the planting
    And another thing, Mr. Age of Enlightenment
    Don’t lecture me about the war, you didn’t fight in it
    You think I’m frightened of you, man?
    We almost died in a trench
    While you were off getting high with the French
    Thomas Jefferson, always hesitant with the President
    Reticent—there isn’t a plan he doesn’t jettison
    Madison, you’re mad as a hatter, son, take your medicine
    Damn, you’re in worse shape than the national debt is in
    Sittin’ there useless as two shits
    Hey, turn around, bend over, I’ll show you
    Where my shoe fits
    Excuse me? Madison,Jefferson,take a walk! Hamilton, take a walk!
    We’ll reconvene after a brief recess. Hamilton!
    Sir!
    A word
    You don’t have the votes
    You don’t have the votes
    Aha-ha-ha ha!
    You’re gonna need congressional approval and you don’t have the votes
    Such a blunder sometimes it makes me wonder why I even bring the thunder
    Why he even brings the thunder…
    You wanna pull yourself together?
    I’m sorry, these Virginians are birds of a feather
    Young man, I’m from Virginia, so watch your mouth
    So we let Congress get held hostage by the South?
    You need the votes
    No, we need bold strokes. We need this plan
    No, you need to convince more folks
    James Madison won’t talk to me, that’s a nonstarter
    Winning was easy, young man. Governing’s harder
    They’re being intransigent
    You have to find a compromise
    But they don’t have a plan, they just hate mine!
    Convince them otherwise
    What happens if I don’t get congressional approval?
    I imagine they’ll call for your removal
    Sir—
    Figure it out, Alexander. That’s an order from your commander
