"The national budget must be balanced. The public debt
must be reduced; the arrogance of the authorities must
be moderated and controlled. Payments to foreign
governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't
want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work,
instead of living on public assistance."
Marcus Tullius Cicero, 55 B.C.
