WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED IN 2,066 YEARS?


WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED IN 2,066 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.

  5. I saw something the other day in which someone was suggesting that our form of government that was created in 1776 is not working for us anymore, since it was based on 13 rather loosely connected colonies. I thought then, "Ya think?" :) This reinforces.

    My word verification is "hasta" :)
