“The budget should be balanced, the treasury refilled, public debt reduced, the arrogance of officialdom tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.”

The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I’m reading a really good book you might find interesting (speaking of empires falling). It’s called “American Theocracy”, by Kevin Phillips. I recently read another of his books, “The Cousin’s Wars”, which was about Anglo-American exceptionalism and it was excellent, too.
“American Theocracy” discusses the confluence of religious extremism, dependence on foreign oil and excessive credit/debt and how these are bringing about the fall of America. Good stuff. Very timely and topical and scary as hell.

[Cicero, Roman statesman][/quote]Sad that I don’t see it happens with all the polical theaters. What I can see:
1. coming high inflation meaning everyone will effectively make less but with high tax.
2. unprepared retiring babyboomers with much small eggs if still golden in color
3. High tax coming
4. If other countries have high inflation, we will pay for it, becuase we only kept the only industry called wall street which is formed with ligalized, sophiscated, and Harvad aducated crooks and lier.February 16, 2009 at 11:27 PM #347896RB132Participant[quote=Aecetia]”The budget should be balanced, the treasury refilled, public debt reduced, the arrogance of officialdom tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands curtailed, lest Rome become bankrupt.”
