America Dream or Fiscal Cliff Nightmare?
“I will break the pride of your power” (Leviticus 26:19)
The USA is not like it used to be, and is facing severe problems because of its debts:
September 10, 2012
There is little doubt that the massive fiscal cliff we are now approaching threatens to cripple the U.S. economy and stock market and to drive gold and silver prices into the stratosphere.
It is, quite simply, the single greatest challenge the American Dream has ever faced. And it now threatens to destroy that dream for generations…
How Will You Pay YOUR $2.8 Million Debt?
Not only is this crisis real … not only has it been engineered by our leaders … it is far larger and far more terrifying than any politician, pundit or media outlet has even begun to report.
Last week, for instance, even as the Democratic National Convention convened, America’s official national debt soared past the $16 trillion mark.
I say “official” debt because even this enormous number represents only a tiny fraction of our nation’s actual indebtedness.
According to Laurence Kotlikoff, a senior economist with Reagan’s council of Economic Advisors, Washington’s total debts and obligations are now $222 trillion; more than $2.8 million for every family of four in the nation.
And that means the price you pay for Washington’s financial blundering is about to explode.
Taxes as Far as the Eye Can See …
The plain truth is that every dollar our leaders spend — whether on current expenses or to service its gargantuan debt — has to come from somewhere.
Some of those dollars are collected through direct taxation on companies, wage-earners and investors.
More are borrowed by the U.S. Treasury. http://www.moneyandmarkets.com/saving-the-american-dream-50455
Serious changes, that the USA is not likely to implement, are what is needed. It is not only USA commentators that are noticing some of this as the following points out:
Sept 9, 2012IMF chief Lagarde highlights perils of US fiscal cliff
Christine Lagarde has said the “US fiscal cliff” is one of the greatest threats to the global economy.
Frenchwoman Christine Lagarde made her comments while in Russia. Foreigners are starting to notice more of the problems that the debt of the USA will cause. But only partially.
Increasing the debt of the USA is much more dangerous than most realize. Notice a prophecy from the Bible:
3 For the vision is yet for an appointed time; But at the end it will speak, and it will not lie. Though it tarries, wait for it; Because it will surely come, It will not tarry…5 Indeed, because he transgresses by wine, He is a proud man… 6 “Will not all these take up a proverb against him, And a taunting riddle against him, and say, ‘Woe to him who increases What is not his–how long? And to him who loads himself with many pledges’? 7 Will not your creditors rise up suddenly? Will they not awaken who oppress you? And you will become their booty. 8 Because you have plundered many nations, All the remnant of the people shall plunder you (Habakkuk 2:3,5,6-8).
Now, the USA is not yet to the point that its creditors will rise up suddenly. I suspect it is several years from now. Yet, by failing to make the changes necessary, the USA is certainly setting itself up for sudden destruction.
Let’s look at another warning in Isaiah 30:12-13:
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel:
“Because you despise this word, And trust in oppression and perversity, And rely on them, 13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you Like a breach ready to fall, A bulge in a high wall, Whose breaking comes suddenly, in an instant.
Of course, more and more, the Anglo-American nations are trusting in policies that encourage and trust perversity.
The Bible clearly warns that an indebted people (and the UK has possibly the highest per capita debt in the world, with the USA the highest total debt) will be destroyed by people whose language that they do not understand, and that the destruction will be fairly total:
43 The alien who is among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower. 44 He shall lend to you, but you shall not lend to him; he shall be the head, and you shall be the tail. 45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed…47 “Because you did not serve the LORD your God with joy and gladness of heart, for the abundance of everything, 48 therefore you shall serve your enemies, whom the LORD will send against you, in hunger, in thirst, in nakedness, and in need of everything; and He will put a yoke of iron on your neck until He has destroyed you. 49 The LORD will bring a nation against you from afar, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies, a nation whose language you will not understand, 50 a nation of fierce countenance, which does not respect the elderly nor show favor to the young. 51 And they shall eat the increase of your livestock and the produce of your land, until you are destroyed; they shall not leave you grain or new wine or oil, or the increase of your cattle or the offspring of your flocks, until they have destroyed you. 52 They shall besiege you at all your gates until your high and fortified walls, in which you trust, come down throughout all your land; and they shall besiege you at all your gates throughout all your land which the LORD your God has given you (Deuteronomy 28:42-45,47-52).
The economy, debt situation, and moral situation in the USA is serious. None of them can continue indefinitely and will end in ways that most Americans really do not believe is possible.
