"The Budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public
debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered
and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed,
lest Rome will become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of
living on public assistance." -





Cicero, 55 BC

So, evidently we've learned nothing at all over the past 2,069 years.

And never will......  If you have nothing nice to say,say nothing at all.
