I Don't Know Where It Went!

It used to be the thing to do - make fun of women who overspent their husband's income.  Then women started making their own money.

Now we make fun of the leaders of the United States because they seem to think that the wallet is open and there is an endless supply of money.  They are much like the cartoon wife of prior decades "stealing" money from the sleeping husband's wallet.  The supposition is that he will not know where it has gone.

The American public is sleeping with its wallet open while our fearless leaders "steal" it from us thinking we will not know that it is gone. 

Well, the message here is this.  SURPRISE!!!!  You have been caught.  The wallet contains only a pittance of what you have overspent.  There is no more coming.  So suck it up.  Tighten your belts.  Eat slimmer.  Quit subsidizing everything.  Let the chips fall where they may. 

I am not wealthy.  But, I would like to be.  I do not want the wealthy taxed out of existence.  I would like to think that one day, I could be in their shoes.  I do not make jobs for anyone, but the people that I know who have money do.  They have businesses and factories.  They employ people.

All those elitists who cry out against the wealthy are just that!  They are wealthy and probably not ready to give up their own wealth, but want others to do so.  I really do not care if someone makes a million dollars a month and gets to keep it.  They rarely do keep it.  They spend it.  Spending it makes jobs. 

The government CANNOT make jobs.  It makes bureaucracy.  It increases debt.  It can only spend.  It creates no viable product for sale.  It is a government.  Government is supposed to protect the borders, provide for the common defense and little more.  All the agencies and commissions and studies and Executive Orders and all the rest is nothing more than government control.  It is no more than a UNION gone mad.

You all have a lovely day.  I am through with my ranting.

Shalom.  Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.

We Are as Fools on a Ship Without a Compass

It is no longer a question as to whether or not there is something to write about.  It is simply a matter of which one of many.

If the United States abandons Israel and insists upon Israel giving up land, we are in for hard times.  Hurricane season is just starting and the number of tornadoes so far has been staggering.  HE told us, "I will bless those that bless you and curse those that curse you" or words to that effect. 

We have officials in high places in the United States of America that simply seem intent upon throwing this country headlong into a swirling morass of debt and uncertainty.  The reporters of gloom and doom also seem to want us to fail.

We, the United States, were once great and not because of our might, but because of our heart and IN SPITE of our might and our wealth.

What happened?  We grew prideful and disdained those precepts which made us great.  We grew haughty and looked down our collective noses at the founders and sought to bring only their faults to light and not the sacrifices they made to give this country its start.  We who were filled with sin, mocked that very sin, and threw rocks and elevated ourselves above those frail founders.

We lost sight of the very fact that the United States of America was founded as a Christian nation.  Not Muslin, not Baptist, not Catholic, not Buddhist, not Hindu, nor Mayan, nor Agnostic.  We were founded as a Christian nation.

We have forgotten that.  May GOD have mercy upon us!

Shalom.  Pray for the Peace of Jerusalem.

A Button in the Land of Nutton

Once upon a time in the land of Nutton there was Button. 
Button held the purse strings closed, but Button was a Nutton. 
One day Nutton popped its Button. 
And all the money disappeared. 
If you're a Button in Nutton, there's Nutton to button. 
Welcome to the American debt!
