My guess is he is a liberal Johnny One Note. My guess is he believes the cure for all our ills is to raise taxes and allow Queen Hillary to dispense the proceeds as she feels appropriate.
I thought faith destroyed the empire. A turning away from authority and toward free will. Doing your own thing caused a setback of some 1200 years before it started paying dividends big time. Just like liberal policies today, intrinsically good but fatally ahead of it’s time.
Why that’s just silly! Ancient Rome was destroyed by internal divisions over who controlled the government, excessive spending on popular expenditures, uncontrolled immigration, debauched lifestyles, lack of respect for God & His laws, and ...........uh.....nevermnind........
Oh great fiscal know it alls. If your doom and gloom predictions are true, please explain to us how the British Govt managed to substain a “National Debt” for all most 400 years and counting?
Oh another note to fiscal hysterics. Just WHERE are those govts going to “dump” their US bonds? See they have to SELL THEM to someone.
RIGHT! Sure we should just ignore all factual reality about Rome because the facts do not validate the bubble world dogma as screamed by fringer third rate Politically Corrupted media personalities.
Too bad the real world is not the simple place the chicken littles think it is.
Rome hung on as many centuries as they did, because they were blessed (if it may be called that) with enemies much less organized than themselves. The greater Roman Empire, grown too unwieldy to be governed only from Rome alone, was in the process of fracture long before the Christian religion was widely adopted in the Roman world. Byzantium was, for all practical purposes, pretty much independent of Rome from about 300 AD on, but was still largely allied with Rome.
Until Rome really needed to be defended.
ahem..

Think of FDR as a Roman dictator ... and move on.
That gives you all you need to know.
In America today, it is not a one or two party system - it is simply one party - a "tax and spend" party with no accountability.
How, just did the Romans deal with the very same issue?
How cliché...
I brought that very point up many years ago. I was laughed at by my congressperson.
