Financially bankrupt.

Morally and ethically bankrupt.

'Et tu Brute?' Cried Julius Caesar, supposedly.

"On March 15 (the Ides of March), 44 BC, the historic Caesar was attacked by a group of senators, including Brutus, who was Caesar's friend and protégé."

When is that scene going to play out in the US?
