From Cicero to Barack Obama

Written by: Aaron Katsman | March 31, 2009

Alert reader AC sent a great quote from the distant past which has some relevancy today.

“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.

What hath you say Prez. Obama?????
