The U.S. Isn’t Becoming Rome
by Brian Maher Daily Reckoning
The United States — and its purported diminishment — is often likened to the Roman Empire.
As the Roman Empire succumbed to debauchery, degeneracy and profligacy… the United States is succumbing to debauchery, degeneracy and profligacy.
As Rome had its bread and its circuses, the United States has its bread and its circuses.
They differ merely in form. Not in substance.
In brief: The Roman destiny will be the American destiny. That destiny is of course ruin.
So runs the theory.
