So what have we learned in 2 millennia?
"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 become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance." Cicero - 55 B.C.
Uh, not much, apparently.
Hope you all have a great new year! :)

Well, I'm sure SOMEONE will laugh while it all burns. Who do you think will be our modern-day Nero?
