Silly Me

I thought all of the “crazy people” were pretty much confined to the three branches of American Government. Evidently that was a mistake on my part.

Now that we have a “financial agreement” (sorta, more-or-less, hows that again?, kinda like) I am surprise that there seems to be more of the same kind of folks around the world.

If approved in both houses of Congress by close of business Tuesday, the deal will permit the Treasury to pay bills already incurred by presidents and lawmakers of both parties in times of war and recession. It will probably preserve America’s sterling credit rating and reassure investors in financial markets across the globe. (David Espo, Associated Press)

Let’s see if I have this right. The United States is going to go another two trillion dollars in debt (and make a “promise” of “cuts” – a joke if ever there was one), on top of an already existing debt that couldn’t be paid off in a hundred years (more or less with or without hyperbole) if we began to live within our means, and investors in financial markets across the globe are reassured, i.e., think that is a good thing? Silly me! (Quick, tell them about Greece.)

I believe the only “good thing” that is coming is the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ which will be hastened (though always within the foreknowledge of God our Father) by the economic collapse of this Country and possibly the entire rest of the World along with it.

Over the course of the next few weeks the Pastor at our Church is going to be speaking on the subject – What’s Wrong With America. I can hardly wait. Perhaps if we admit what is wrong, God’s people, who are called by His name, can humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked way, and God would heal our land. It seems clear – without His intervention, we will “fix” our Nation to death.
