Quote of the Century.......................

"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 in the past 2,067 years.
