Ancient Rome
"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

That's scarey. The greedy never learn, do they, or is it that they just don't give a damn about anything but their own instant gratification.

Who says we can't learn from history?
