Nothing changes

" 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."

The name of the city, Rome, gives it away really. In fact it was written by Cicero in 55BC. Some of our moral leaders ought to be advised to go back to any classical studies of their youth. Some things seem to be timeless!
