第一个死于贫困的是第3任美国总统托马斯·杰弗逊。他出身贵族家庭,属于富有阶层。后于1809年3月4日离任,死于1826年7月4日。杰弗逊8年的总统生涯,使他欠下了11000美元的债务。离开白宫之后,抵达蒙蒂塞洛。虽然拥有几间小作坊和一个小农场,但入不敷出,尽管忍痛卖掉一些土地还债,仍然还有5万美元的债务。于是还债就成为困扰这位离任总统的难解之结。他的大女儿玛霞与他一起生活,在给父亲的信中,她写道:“我什么都可以忍受,就是不想看到你年纪这么大还要为债务而烦忧。”
The first to die in poverty is the third United States President Thomas Jefferson. He was born in a noble family and belonged to a wealthy class. After leaving on March 4, 1809, died on July 4, 1826. Jefferson’s eight-year presidency made him owe $ 11,000 in debt. After leaving the White House, arrive in Monticello. Although it has several small workshops and a small farm, it is unable to make ends meet and, despite reluctantly selling some of its land for debt, still has $ 50,000 in debt. So the debt has become the troubled end of the outgoing president. In his letter to her father, Ma Xia, his eldest daughter, lives with him and writes: “I can tolerate everything I do not want to see you are so old and worried about debt.” "
