Have you ever heard the phrase “bread and circuses?”

Well, Rome’s failure was caused by the fact that their government reached the point that the phrase perfectly describes the root cause of the failure of Rome.

It now describes to a “T” why our form of government is to the point of failure.

Look up the phrase and learn some history.

History repeats itself and I see Rome in everything going on now. As Dad used to say, “I’m on my way out and the rest of you will have to sort it out.” I’ve done some prepping, but need to step it up.
