10 dying symptoms of the Roman empire

[David13]

1. Rome imported drugs via Silk Road contributing to idle poverty.
2. Rome encouraged sexual immorality of Pompeii contributing to illegitimate poverty.
3. Ceasers gained power promising social justice through socialism to deal with poverty (free bread and circus).
4. Rome maintained trade deficit with China.
5. Empire continued to expand to bring in gold tribute to supply bankrupt economy with liquidity.
6. Rome hired Barbarian Foederati to supply the Roman Legions with men.
7. Barbarian Foederati conducted an insurrection, killed Romulus Augustus, and divided the Empire.


What the US must do is fight poverty by a return to virtue encouraging self-reliance, observance of the Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity.

What the Democrats have not understood for more than 50 years is that poverty is not caused by, nor defined as, not having money.
It is caused by not having work. For whatever reason. Alcoholism, drug addiction, or just laziness or lack of understanding how to get a job, or a career.
So there is a project that at least begins to work on a solution, rather than just throwing money and perpetuating the problem.

I think they understand it to the extent of promising cheaper education on the campaign trail. But I would say that it is doubtful how well the government as a whole is willing or understands the magnitude of the situation.
