The budget should be balanced, There was no budget. the Treasury should be refilled, There was no treasury. Public debt? In Rome? Read Polybius! Arrogance of officialdom? Cicero WAS officialdom! Foreign aid? Whoever wrote this knows nothing. "People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance" !! It was a slave-holding society. Your slaves worked. I've taught Latin since the 60's and all I can say is What a crock! SaveOk2 Share on Facebook Tweet Email Print
