The Roman Empire and the United States are history’s most influential powers. Though separated by time and geography, there are some striking parallels between their rise, development, and potential decline. In this blog post, we’ll dive into the similarities and differences between these two mighty civilizations, focusing on the past 40 years of the United States. Political Instability And Corruption The Roman Empire The United States Economic Inequality And Struggles The Roman Empire The United States Monetary Policy And Inflation The Roman Empire The decline in Roman denarius’s purchasing power resulted from several factors, including inflation, currency debasement, and economic instability. As the Roman Empire expanded, it faced increasing expenses related to its military, administration, and infrastructure. To fund these expenses, the Roman government often resorted to debasing the denarius, which involved reducing the coin’s silver content. Initially, the denarius was made of nearly pure silver, but over time, the percentage of silver in the coin was progressively reduced. By mixing silver with base metals like copper, the Roman government could mint more silver coins with the same amount, effectively increasing the money supply. However, this currency debasement led to inflation, as the coins’ actual value was less than their face value. The increased money supply diminished the purchasing power of the denarius. Inflation was further exacerbated by other economic factors, such as wage and price controls, which were implemented to address rising costs but often had the unintended effect of creating shortages and black markets. The Roman government also struggled to collect taxes effectively, which led to further financial strain and an increasing reliance on debasing the currency. As the denarius became less valuable, people began to lose confidence in the currency. This led to a general decline in trade and economic activity. People started hoarding more valuable commodities like gold and silver bullion, and merchants became reluctant to accept the debased currency. As the purchasing power of the denarius continued to decline, it contributed to the overall economic instability and eventual decline of the Roman Empire. The United States Silver certificates were introduced in the United States as a form of currency in 1878. These certificates represented a specific amount of silver bullion and could be redeemed for physical silver. The use of silver certificates as the currency continued until the 1960s. The issuance of new silver certificates ceased in 1964, and they were discontinued as a form of currency after the Coinage Act of 1965, which removed the requirement for U.S. currency to be backed by precious metals. Silver certificates that had already been issued remained legal tender and could be used as currency. Also, coinage stopped being made from 90% silver in 1964 and was phased out by 1969, with dollars, half dollars, and dimes made from nickel- plated copper. This is the debasement of coinage like the Roman Denarius. The United States stopped allowing its citizens to convert the currency to gold on August 15, 1971. This was when President Richard Nixon announced the “Nixon Shock,” which effectively ended the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates and took the U.S. off the gold standard. This meant foreign governments could no longer exchange U.S. dollars for gold. The U.S. dollar became a fiat currency, and inflation increased in the 1970s. The limitation on gold ownership in the United States was repealed after President Gerald Ford signed a bill legalizing private ownership of gold coins, bars, and certificates by an Act of Congress, codified in Pub. L. 93–373, which went into effect December 31, 1974. Inflation has persisted, especially after the 2008 financial crisis and the recent pandemic. The Federal Reserve’s monetary policies, which have focused on low-interest rates and quantitative easing, have stoked inflation and potential long-term economic instability.

"Link" 19 August 1999 Letters to the Editor Re: "What Happened To All The Good Protest Songs?" Editor, Times-Dispatch: To quote the Honorable Robert H. Bork, "The [1968 Left-Wing] radicals, expecting stern opposition, were astounded by, and contemptuous of, the universities' rapid surrender. They learned that ours is a soft culture with a bad conscience; MORAL INTIMIDATION WORKS! (emphasis mine)" The Radical Left/Liberal Movement has arrogantly, yet disingenuously, assumed the mantle of moral superiority, and good patriotic Americans have been meekly kowtowing to their paternalistic demands for the last 35 years! Historians will validate that the 1992 Presidential Election will prove to be the Left's most glorious triumph, as an unabashedly sexually-deviant, draft-dodging, morally-repugnant, pot-smoking fiend assumed the most powerful political office on earth. However, Bill Clinton and his Vile Administration, so utterly lacking in basic character and moral underpinnings, will prove to be the Left's Waterloo, as Slick Willie dramatically exposes the hypocrisy of the Liberal Lie to ever-increasing numbers of American voters. The Democrats have already lost both Houses of Congress and over a dozen Statehouses, long-time Democrats have abandoned the Party in droves, and Conservatives/Libertarians have been emboldened to act with a passion reminiscent of Liberals from a bygone era. All we are missing now are a few good old-fashioned Right-Wing protest songs... Thank you, Slick Willie! Lib'ral DemocRATZ, bending over backwards in defense of your corrupt Presidency, have abandoned all claims on moral superiority, exposing the Effete Elite as the self-serving Power mongers they have been all along! And the best is yet to come...for those DemocRATZ who hold too long to the Clinton line, we will witness historic Republican gains come November ‘00. Then, we get to go after Ol' Billzabubba with Impeachment III--Impeachment II is happening within the next six months! With all due respect, Mr. President, you're soon to be yesterday's news!!

James O'Keefe, whose investigative reporting now is being published under the label of his O'Keefe Media Group, has documented what apparently is a massive money laundering scheme that benefits Democrats. Using public election records, he identified some individuals who had "donated" up to 18,000 times. The Gateway Pundit pointed out it previously reported on the "vast far- left network of donation harvesters" that O'Keefe has documented. "The information was first released by Chris Gleason as was first published at The Gateway Pundit back in December 2022. Chris Gleason found a massive number of 'Campaign Finance Mules' making hundreds, even thousands of donations per year," the report said. It continued, "It turns out that millions in donations were sent to candidates like Raphael Warnock from 'money mules' around the country. Warnock was the top beneficiary of all 2022 Democrat candidates of this money distribution scheme. In April 2022, engineer Chris Gleason began working on his first data project involving elections. The project was tied to the 2022 midterm election. This was unique for Chris because he had been involved in tech and data for the majority of his adult career although he never used his expertise on a political project. What he and a small group of others determined was that Washington state had a massive network of campaign finance mules. They identified massive numbers of registered voters in Washington State who were making thousands of donations to Democrat party candidates nationwide and progressive PACs. The individual donation amounts were not large. These donations were small and had been intentionally set up to avoid throwing up reg flags." The report explained, as O'Keefe reported, those "Money Mules" were not rich people. But there were red flags, such as why a donor in Washington State would be making repeated donations to a Georgia candidate. O'Keefe's details came from Election Watch in Maryland, and he went to various addresses of those top "donation mules." At least one slammed the door in his face, after insisting that President Donald Trump should be hit in the head with a bat."

Speaking of Hush Money...Fox News just relayed that the Donald has been indicted. The bootstrap theory of changing Trump's crime of hush money from a misdemeanor to now a felony is damning. I think that based on this bootstrap bullshit that somebody needs to address from our own constitution the issue of misapplication of the law. It's called Ex Post Facto Law.
I agree, Goldi, but I sincerely believe this is going to boomerang on the RATZ as the Left's hypocrisy and bias will become blatantly obvious to all but the most brainwashed Marxist minions.

The Roman Empire faced significant political instability, especially during its later years. The empire saw a rapid turnover of emperors, many of whom were corrupt, ineffective, or simply not up to ruling such a vast and diverse realm. Corruption was widespread, with officials often using their positions for personal gain rather than the public good.
The United States, too, has seen a decline in the stability and effectiveness of its political system. Polarization has grown over the past four decades, and trust in institutions has waned. Corruption, though not as pervasive as in Rome, remains a concern in various government sectors.
In Rome, wealth was heavily concentrated in the hands of a few elites. Most of the population lived in poverty, leading to social unrest and resentment. This inequality was exacerbated by Rome’s tax system, which disproportionately burdened the lower classes.
Income inequality in the United States has been rising for the past four decades, with the rich getting richer and the poor getting poorer. This has led to social tensions and concerns about the long- term stability of the nation’s economic system.
The Roman Empire struggled with inflation, particularly in its later years. This was mainly due to the empire’s debasement of its currency—reducing the precious metal content of coins to fund wars or other expenses. This, in turn, led to a loss of confidence in the currency and economic troubles.
The United States has experienced the same currency debasement as Rome. The passage of the Gold Reserve Act of 1934 signified that the American people could no longer hold gold except for jewelry and collectors’ coins.
Rome’s military was stretched thin across its vast empire. Constant warfare and the need to defend its borders drained resources that could have been used for other purposes, such as infrastructure or social programs. Eventually, Rome’s overextended military contributed to its decline.
The United States has maintained a significant global military presence since World War II. However, in recent decades, critics argue that the nation’s military commitments have become overextended and costly, diverting resources away from critical domestic needs.
The Roman Empire experienced a population decline and demographic changes due to migration, disease, and other factors. These shifts impacted Rome’s economy and social fabric as new populations and cultures mingled with the traditional Roman way of life.
Demographic changes in the United States over the past 40 years have included an aging population, slowing birth rates, and increased immigration. These changes have led to debates over immigration policy, cultural assimilation, and the future of American identity.
Maintaining Rome’s vast infrastructure, including roads, aqueducts, and public buildings, became increasingly difficult as resources were stretched thin. The empire struggled to keep up with the demands of its aging infrastructure, ultimately contributing to its decline.
The United States faces similar challenges with its aging infrastructure. Bridges, roads, and public transportation systems have declined for decades, and the nation has struggled to allocate the necessary resources for their maintenance and improvement. This has led to concerns about crumbling infrastructure’s long-term economic and social impact.
Rome experienced a decline in traditional civic values and social cohesion as its empire expanded. This decline was further exacerbated by political corruption, economic struggles, and the influx of new cultural influences.
In recent decades, concerns have been raised about the erosion of shared values and social fragmentation in the United States. Political polarization, declining civic engagement, and social media influence have contributed to a growing sense of disunity and mistrust among Americans.
Rome faced challenges with resource depletion and environmental issues such as soil erosion, deforestation, and desertification. These factors contributed to food shortages, economic strain, and social unrest.
The United States is grappling with mining, pollution, and resource depletion impacts. Flooding, extreme weather events, and biodiversity loss threaten the nation’s economy, environment, and public health.
While there are many parallels between the Roman Empire and the United States, it’s essential to remember that the two civilizations are fundamentally different, and the U.S. faces unique challenges. However, by examining the shared struggles and lessons from Rome’s decline, politicians can better understand the potential pitfalls facing the United States and work to address them proactively. In doing so, they can help ensure the continued stability and prosperity of the nation for future generations.
– Winston Churchill.

And the Mississippi River shes a goin dry
The interest is up and the stock markets down
And you only get mugged if you go down town
My woman and the kids and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun a rifle and a four wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain't too many things these ole boys can't do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun
We say grace and we say ma'am
And the Rocky Mountains and the Western Skies
And we can skin a buck we can run a trout line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
He never called me by my name just HillBilly
My GrandPa taught me to live off the land
And his taught him to be a business man
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway Nights
And I'd send him some homemade wine
But he was killed by a man with a switch blade knife
For forty three dollars my friend lost his life
I'd love to spit some Skoal Longcut in that dudes eye
And shoot em' with my ole 45
Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Because you can't starve us out and you can't make us run
Cause when them ole boy raised on shotgun
We say grace and we say ma'am
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck and run a trout line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive
Country boy can survive
Country folks can survive.....
