Best political quote of any era

This one wasn’t written by Nancy Pelosi or Chuckles Schumer, or even John McCain or Lindsey Graham, wish it was. 



"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 will become bankrupt. People must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance."


Cicero, 55 B.C.
