Your quotation is spurious; the quote I believe you are referring to is:
"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 in a letter to John Taylor, dated May 28, 1816.
