WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Barack Obama vigorously defended his $787 billion stimulus on Wednesday, insisting it rescued Americans from the worst of the economic calamity and ripping Republican critics who called it a waste. http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE61G38U20100218?type=GCA-Economy2010
So, not surprisingly, President Obama defended his plan. The plan has contributed to having President Obama sign a bill on February 12, 2010 to raise the debt ceiling to $14.3 trillion dollars:
Obama signs law lifting debt ceiling…
Obama signed the measure, raising the US debt ceiling to 14.3 trillion dollars… http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5gaXeUkifDBLCpg5SyHD0hgxn1EPw
It should be mentioned that the $14.3 trillion figure does not include personal or corporate debt. The “National Debt” does not include items such as foreign investment in the USA outside of items like treasury bills. The Europeans, for example, have over $5,000,000,000,000 invested in the USA that could become nearly worthless if the USA defaults on its other debt or if its economy succumbs to the debt. That will not please them. Nor will it please other creditors, like China.
It also needs to be understood that increased debt increases the amount of interest to be paid, and likely will also force interest rates to rise and make the interest payments even higher (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/bus/columnists/wdeener/stories/DN-deenercol_18bus.ART.State.Edition1.3cf1a10.html).
If interest rates rise to their 1982 levels in a few years, the interest on the USA debt will likely exceed the total of all income tax revenues. This will likely raise interest rates to even higher levels. Levels that creditors will finally realize cannot be paid back. Taxes simply cannot be raised enough without destroying economic growth to solve this. The USA will have to discover some great new technology to extend its dominance (remotely possible), nationally repent (highly unlikely), or come to an end (most likely).
What most pundits have not dared to say is that if the USA is not the leading economic power, it will also have to cease to be the leading military power. If this USA is not even to be a “mediocre” power (as the second article above suggests), it will be considered vulnerable and quite weak.
Here some excerpts from my book 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect related to Barack Obama, the USA, debt, and end-time prophecy:
Additionally, one of the first things that Barack Obama has done as U.S.A. president is to sign into to a law a bill that will greatly increase the debt of the U.S.A. He has also indicated that he will need to pursue policies that will increase that debt during at least his first administration, although he ultimately hopes to change that, as even he claims that the U.S. debt is “unsustainable.”
However, he and others may not realize that the Bible strongly warns about what will happen to a huge debtor in the end time. Notice what the seer Habakkuk wrote over 2,600 years ago:
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…
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 2:3,6–8).
Hence, Barack Obama seems to currently be fulfilling the part of that prophecy of increasing pledges/debt. And, of course, it is possible that the rest of the above prophecy might be fulfilled while he is U.S.A. president. This prophecy, if it is applicable to the U.S.A, also suggests that American dollars will ultimately be of no value to creditors by then (or to probably anyone else)…
Since 1973, the U.S.A. switched from being a creditor nation and instead has become the greatest debtor nation in the history of humankind. Because the U.S.A. owes alien nations trillions of dollars, it appears that the curse in Deuteronomy 28:44 of having to borrow from aliens is happening to it now. President Barack Obama has put forth economic policies that will (for at least several years) greatly increase that debt. Yet, increasing national debt like this will lead to destruction at the appointed time of the end (Habakkuk 2:3, 6–8)…
Habakkuk 2 makes clear that at the appointed time of the end, a great borrowing people will be destroyed (Habakkuk 2:3,6-8). Something similar is in Deuteronomy 28:42-51. No nation in the history of humankind has ever accumulated as much debt as the United States of America (because the U.K. may have the highest amount of per capita debt, its fate would seem to be similar). Yet, the relationship between debt accumulation and prophesied destruction remains unapparent to many.
And although President Obama inherited a debt-laden nation, his policies, according to his own public pronouncements, will lead to greatly increased U.S.A. debt for several years. These increases of debt are likely to go past the point of no return and become one of the final factors that will cause creditors to rise up and destroy the U.S.A. (Thiel B. 2012 and the Rise of the Secret Sect, released September 2009).
The Bible lists debt as a curse for disobedience (Deuteronomy 28:42-51). Creditors rising “up suddenly” to “plunder” the USA means the end of the USA.
The USA is the largest debtor nation in the history of the world and seems determined to fulfill the prophecies related to the end time debtor. It cannot borrow like it has indefinitely. And even the US President realizes that. But if you are an American, do you really understand how that may affect you?
