A Lesson from the Past

The budget should be balanced.

The treasury should be refilled.

Public debt should be reduced.

The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled.

Assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest we become bankrupt.

People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance.

--- Cicero, 55 BC

A lesson from Rome over 2,000 years ago.
