What Have We Learned
So, what have we learned in the last 2064 years?
“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.
History certainly has a way of repeating itself. This much I have learned.
