"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
Evidently, nothing.

Too late for that Joe. We have an overload of pure lazy people with no ambition . Most have been on welfare or assitance all their life and don't want to work and don't know how to be productive.
America as a capitalist society will be gone in months , not years.
It is written that we will fall as a nation without values and religion. Greed has taken over and will not be reversed.
We as a species are further from the truth than at any point in history, at this rate we should destroy ourselves within the next 75 years. Why? All of the above,I quess.
Ain't that the truth!

Welcome to History 101.
Joe,
Can you make this printable so we can hang this on our walls, please?

The actual quote is: "The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and assistance to foreign hands should be curtailed, lest Rome fall."
This country has learned nothing from history and is in the same downward spiral as Rome when it collapsed. It is not too late to save her but it will be one hell of a fight.
