What would our founders think?

So, based on my understanding of the writings and saying of our founders, here's a little bit from my perspective on what our founding fathers would think of this country today:

Benjamin Franklin - You've turned us into Britain, how could you?! Even worse, you endanger your own freedoms with the path you've chosen. So be it, you don't deserve them anyway.

Alexander Hamilton - What are you thinking! A national debt and it's three times your annual income?

George Washington - I'm very disappointed in the reliance you place in your political associations and especially in the power you've given them.

Thomas Jefferson - While I'm impressed with the growth of freedom across the country, you are very much in danger of having it all topple down.

I'm sure I can come up with more, but these are just intended to get people to think. Think about what our founders said and what they meant when they said it and think about what that means for our country today, if you think it means anything. All comments welcome on this one :)
