Who did more for USA: Hamilton or Jefferson

I read an interesting article recently. It essentially stated that Hamilton is to blame for everything that went wrong in the US law-making after the Independence War.

Basically, at the dawn of the American nation, there were two mainstream schools of thought: Jeffersonian and Hamiltonian. Jefferson saw the government as nothing more but the guarantor of constitutional rights. Hamilton, on the other hand, saw the government as a means to directly fix societal and economical issues. Jefferson advocated for a minimalist, strongly decentralised government; Hamilton advocated for a strong central government.

Hamilton's ideology was easier to follow, hence it won over in the end. Later Lincoln, Wilson and, finally, Roosevelt continued his ideas logically, and finally we got a large monster sucking life out of people and the economy in order to sustain itself.

Historians later compared Hamilton's views to those of the British crown, while Jefferson embodied the ideals of the American independence.

@jackcpacheco neither, I think John Adams had much more of an impact. He is by far the most underrated of the founding fathers and needs more attention for his contributions.
