"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
Seems like history keeps repeating itself and nobody wants to look at history for guidance or ways to keep us out of complete devastation of our country. Do you believe Cicero's comments about Rome apply to the United States today?

+4We conservatives are lamblasted by the left for interpreting the Constituion as originally written; liberals are too stupid to know where to get a copy and read the document, yet profess to be scholars of the doucment they've never read.
"The more corrupt the state, the more it legislates." - Tacitus
The Romans know what they are talking about. They eventually fell and a big reason is when they went away from being a republic to a centralized government.
