Here’s a quote sent to us from our old friend Julian Oliver under the heading “Some things never change”:
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.
Cicero, 55 BC
We feel so much better about the future now. The fall of Rome was a million laughs.
