Marcus Tullius Cicero: Dated 55 B.C.

The following quote illustrates how wise we've become over the ensuing two-thousand year. "LOL"

"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."


Two-thousand years and "nothing" has changed. "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." -- George Santayana, The Life of Reason, Volume 1, 1905
