As we’ve heard many times, “The only thing we learn from history is that we don’t learn from history.” That sure seems true. Keep this in mind as you read the following:
“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.”
That advice comes from “A Pillar of Iron”, Taylor Caldwell’s paraphrased account of speeches by Roman Senator Cicero. As you can see, man has been wrestling with the same problems for thousands of years and evidently hasn’t learned a thing. It should be obvious that America is in serious trouble–but many still don’t get it! When will they ever learn? Time will tell. Think about it!
