How long has it been since we had good government?

The Headmistress made we wonder just how long it has been since we had good government. In Here's a New Idea... she has this quote:

"The budget should be balanced, the Treasury should be refilled, public debt should be reduced, the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance."
Marcus Tullius Cicero - 55 BC
