A very interesting book<\/p>\n

And one more:<\/p>\n

“The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled,<\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\npublic debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled,<\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\nand the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed, lest Rome will become bankrupt.<\/strong>
\n\u00a0<\/strong>
\nPeople must again learn to work instead of living on public assistance.”<\/strong>
