More like, "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws." - Mayer Amschel Rothschild (yeah, I know it's improperly misattributed to him, but whatever... there's truth to the statement.
Jefferson knew that central banks (even private ones) were a bad idea.
"If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs." -Thomas Jefferson
This shows the same outcome about addiction --where did the person move to after rehabilitation?
"In the 1970s, a sizable number of U.S. servicemen in Vietnam self-identified as heroin addicts. But when they returned stateside, the number of these soldiers who continued their addiction was surprisingly low. Why? Turns out a massive disruption in their environment and routine played a big role in helping them change their behavior."
In essence, those that got rehab in Vietnam weren't craving it when they got home. Those that got rehab in the USA were the ones that had the hardest time breaking the cycle of addiction.

Grammar, Spelling, and Effective Communication Skills
And I'd say you're right... Those skills lead to being a good editor --yet another byproduct of someone that's thinking critically. And can lead to fewer errors with a misplaced ' or " or ; or... you get the point.
Those who can, do; those who can't, write. Those who can't write work for the Bell Labs Record.
