"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 become bankrupt.
People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." CICERO, 55 BC
Well, well, well, from a historical point of view Cicero was definitely right. but, his words of wisdom was ignored by officialdom then just as the words of cease and decease were ignored by officialdom in this century were ignored. Such as Oliver North's warning about Al Quada, Alan Greenspan's warning of Irrational Exuberance and I could go on and on about warnings that officialdom has ignored.
History will repeat itself.
