I was going to tag this onto the Ideas that got lost thread, but thought it might take that one too off topic, this is one of the best things ever shared to my faceless book...... "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 BC So, evidently we've learned bugger all over the past 2,068 years. Just to clarify, events currently happening in the Phillipines should NOT come under a curtailment of assistance, that's different. Discuss
Politicians cannot learn. If they have the learning gene, it's removed and if it can't be removed they don't get the job! It's always - we'll defer a decision until the next election. Prevarication is what keeps governments going.
