Something Historical but Contemporary
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 After not listening Rome faded into history. Just a thought

Well it took Rome 1,000yrs to get to that point......
It took us 250....... Get the point?????? I do believe that inevitably we are destined for the the fastest rise and fall of great civilizations. Kinda like the one-hit wonder of what will become the modern world......
