WHAT HAVE WE LEARNED IN 2064 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

So the question "What have we learned?" Apparently nothing ...

  3. Wow that quote is amazing. I am dumbfounded when it comes to the people we have elected to run the counrty. Prayer is the key to open the doors of God's wisdom to us all. Let's tell Washington we choose to sacrifice now for our children and grandchildrens futures. Some will say they will sacrifice along with us. I say not as much as they would if we do not reign in our national debt now.
