"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."
Marcus Tullius Cicero - 55 BC
But, of course, "the arrogance of offialdom" was not "tempered and controlled".
Heard of the Roman Empire doing much of anything now a days?
Didn't think so.........
