My dear friend Otis Hackett of the Otis Hackett Group (http://www.otishackett.com) sent a great quote to me this morning. It’s so poignant that I had to post it:
“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
It’s bad when went something said in 55 BC is still relevant today.
