I can’t say I am terribly impressed, I see nothing in the statement that has not been discussed before. I am assuming this isn’t the full article? I’d don’t want to say he is a poor student of history if there is more he said on the subject.
I also feel that the Roman Empire isn’t necessarily the “best” example to use for our country for various reasons. (I am not saying it’s entirely inappropriate.)
If he is the “watchdog in charge” he hasn’t done much of a job has he? I wonder if he truly is non-partisan? I have to ask as he has had the job for a while.
““declining moral values and political civility at home,”
Credit that he “touched” on the social/societal issues (for the sake of brevity) facing our country. I hope that when he “briefs” presidential hopefuls he expounds on this much further. Imo, delving into this topic can help solve/address the other issues he mentions as well as the economic one.
“These include “dramatic” tax rises, slashed government services”
Why am I not surprised? Higher taxes and less government services.
bsharma, I guess he didn’t mention the British or Soviet “empires” for the same reason he didn’t mention any of the past Chinese, Mongol, Indian, Persian, Aztec, etc. for the sake of brevity.
Rustico, appreciate your honesty, though the “quote” was worthy enough you should have taken credit up front.
Concho, ?
drunkle, you actually READ the constitution? Good for you.
I would say the government will do what is in it’s best interest.
I take it your comment about being comptroller general and not a real military position was just a joke?
