Every time they would try to cut back on public spending the citizens would riot. Then they would restore the spending... They spent at a rate far greater than what they collected in taxes. They did so to the point they couldn't make the payments on the barrowed money and their economy collapsed when the currency became nearly worthless. That is what happened

That can't continue.
