"The borrower is slave to the lender," so says the Book of Proverbs. We've all been there and done that some time. The only possible way to get out of that unenviable situation is to spend LESS than you earn. In other words, we cannot use money to buy things when we don't have enough to pay for it. I hear a collective, "DUH!"
So, as many families are having to do, we seek ways to cut our monthly expenses. For my household, I don't drive the 11 minutes home for lunch; instead I stock the freezer with microwave dinners and bring a canned soda from home. We also cut cable and opted for Netflix instead.
If I may be so bold... and since I'm a duly authorized taxpayer... I think I shall be SO bold... I'd like to suggest a couple of areas the US Government could cut.
How about my tax dollars NOT being used to pay for abortions... in FOREIGN COUNTRIES. To be honest, I don't think they should be paid for here at home either. Planned Parenthood can raise funds for their operating expenses from the likes of Hollywood.
How about NOT sending tax dollars to countries that hate us... like Bolivia and some other communist/socialist leaning nations?
How about NOT paying for artists to create works of "art" the denigrate Christianity, like the infamous picture of a crucifix in a glass of urine. De-fund the National Endowment for the Arts.
I guess if I wanted to do business like the government, I could just print more money and spend it... wait... I think that's against the law for the private citizen. Ok, so that's counterfeiting. OH! I got it! I'll just write checks regardless of whether I have money in the bank to cover it... aw man... that's against the law, too!
So, if it's against the law (and implicitly, if not explicitly a moral evil) for a private citizen to do this... how's it legal for the government? It must be that the government just keeps getting loans to cover our inability to stop spending. Who exactly are they borrowing from? Well, not from us... we're actually being enslaved to debt for decades. Our children and perhaps even our grandchildren are saddled with it.
Maybe we won't have to worry about the guilt-factor, having saddled future generations with our debt. After all, we won't be able to understand our grandchildren or even communicate to them... because they'll be speaking CHINESE, the language of those who really own America being the holder of the largest portion of our debts.
And for my parting shot consider this scandalous thought: If the Chinese take over America maybe the Chinese churches could show us the way to a great revival in the churches of America like they are currently experiencing... just a thought
