CICERO 55bc?)

“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.”

Not legit at all:

The quote actually originated in A Pillar of Iron (1965), Taylor Caldwell’s fictionalized account of the life of the senator, on page 483.

But I love this nonsense anyway. 🙂
