Sad but true

 Debt

 
Uncle Sam my hat's off to you
for screwing up the US of A,
creating debt that surely
we have no hope to repay.
The example you've set the
American people is a shameful 
display of incompetence,
buy now pay later, and pay
you will, to me it makes no sense.
My job is based upon credit checks
believe me I've seen it all,
from doctor bills to college debt
watching the beacon score steadily fall.
Wake up America remember your
roots,
don't let politics 
stick it to you.
For every dollar, there's something
to save, 
don't be a fool sock it away.
When hard times surface, and
surely they will,
you'll have what you need to 
pay your bills. 
Excuses mean nothing
and the message they send,
we watch every day on CNN.
Promises broken
as we're led to believe,
casting our votes
to those who deceive. 
Remember and trust what made this
great nation,
wasn't about debt,
but invention and creation.
When American's worked for Americans
and made in the USA,
meant billions of people united
paid their bills that day.
Why can't we just go back to that
give credit where credit is due,
if you can't afford it today
then debt will surely catch you
too!

John is right and Jerry is not. And you are looking at the present from CNN that all the instant crises that happen around the world every day, nothing like going into deep, deep, debt and great sacrifice fighting a world war for four years, the Great Depression, and a Cold War lasting way too long. My grandparents were destitute with a failed farm and a string of low-paying jobs in their senior years. It was only Social Security that bailed them out, like it does countless Americans in debt today, because for all of the junk they bought and entertainment they had over all the years, they had no savings and only Social Security, no pension, for all ears they worked.

Believe it or not, only government programs and government spending (not cutting) can create the kinds of projects and jobs that will benefit us all and bring us out of recession. The major corporations are beholden to their stockholders and profits. They have no desire to encourage entrepreneurship other than their own and buyout any competition creating jobs, while they figure out ways to automate further and eliminate jobs.

This leaves us with a quandary. Should we (the government for and by the people) start providing a living subsidy for everyone who cannot find work that gives them a living and a sense of self-respect? If we did, they could pay taxes and we would rapidly be on the way to recovery.

We have lost the will to be great. We have no pride left. We are haters of out own country. We are doomed.

Yes, it's true what you say Kathy. However, pick up a newspaper in the library from the past and you will read about WWII, Vietnam, the A-Bomb,
the gas crisis, etc. In the end, God is in control. He got us through so many hard times. We cannot FOCUS on the WORLD. The WORLD is NOT in God's economy. We must focus on Jesus and His Word. I know it's hard to do but the evil one wants us to live lives of despair. In the end God always wins of evil. Amen
