Holy Crap…
I just read a quote, and I totally thought the author of the quote was talking about the United States. Until I read who the author was and realized this dude lived around the time of Christ.
Wow. We sure as hell do not learn from history.
The national budget must be balanced. The public debt must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn’t want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance. –Cicero, 55 BC
