Slow learners

Published: November 9, 2009
It appears that we and our government have not learned anything in the last 2,064 years.
Why do I say this?
In the year 55 BC, Cicero, a Roman citizen, wrote the following: "The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, and 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."
So, what have we learned in the last 2,064 years? Evidently nothing.
