Balanced: It's otherwise known as panem et circenses and is a joke that doesn't cover actual price increases.
From Juvenal:
D. IVNI IVVENALIS SATVRA X
iam pridem, ex quo suffragia nulli
uendimus, effudit curas; nam qui dabat olim
imperium, fasces, legiones, omnia, nunc se
continet atque duas tantum res anxius optat,
panem et circenses.
SPQR
