I am trying hard to refrain from commenting on politics, but I just need to vent for a minute this morning, then think I will be OK....:)
Today, in Denver, President Obama signs into law the biggest "stimulus" package in world history. I DONT GET IT!!!!!!!!
"Stimulus"????
Every citizen will get a tax rebate check of around $600. Bush did this 6 months ago, with double that amount. Did it work????
NO!!
People didnt rush out to buy plasma TVs. Why? Because they are scared. People (like me) use that to pay off any debt or save it. Handing cash over doesnt cure the core problem!!!
Then, on Larry King, I heard one Senator from CA trying to defend 50 million they were getting to preserve the forest rats. Arent rats something you want to kill??????
Again, I DONT GET IT!!!!......especially when not one cent is truly money our govt has, but ALL borrowed money.
I watched a show on CNBC last night that if you get the chance, you HAVE to watch called "House of Cards". Until I watched this, I really didnt understand how we got into this mess. Trust me: You will find yourself saying, "UNBELIEVABLE...." many times over as you watch it.
So....."Happy Bailout Day!!" One of many more to come, I am sure......
Alright, that is kind of off my chest.....:)

Wow! more debt for our Grandkids & their Kids. This shows me what a mess that Our Government has got itself into by trusting man. Satan is at work and devouring everything he can grab. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord. Joshua 24:15
Will be Praying for Your Dad PB

I watched that same show, House of Cards, and I found myself saying "wow..." much throughout it. The bottom line for every bit of that was GREED. It just amazed me how vast and deep it all ran. How many thousands of people got their pockets lined with so much during that time and how many 'turned blind eyes' they were. And we are now reaping the benefits of it all...

I think you summed this stuff up perfectly months ago when you pointed out that all these "bail out" (incurring of more national debt) attepmts are destined to fail because they are man's way, man's "wisom" - which is in direct opposition to God's way of financial management.
Continuing in prayer for your dad.
