i sent this to my local newspaper, and it was published today:



U.S. cannot afford

to keep its promises

To the editor:

The national debt is $600,000 per family of four. The federal government said so - six years ago.

Every day that Social Security and entitlements continue, the debt gets larger, not smaller.

Medicare is five times more bankrupt than Social Security.

The projected shortfall in funding for Social Security, Medicare, military retirement and health care is about $480,000 per family of four.

If entitlements continue, our soldiers will not get what they have been promised.

No one believes that these promises will be paid. They can't be paid. The United States doesn't have the money.

It's a great sin to borrow money that no one is able or willing to pay back. It's a great sin to make promises that no one intends to keep.

None of our politicians appear to be Bible-believers - the Bible commands us to be honest. Not one has called for an end to the entitlements.

It's a sin to enslave our children and grandchildren to pay our bills and debts.

The Great Emancipator abolished slavery in the United States about 140 years ago, but we have managed to enslave our own children - far more people than the South ever did.

Our victims are our own posterity. Is it any wonder that America is under a curse of God? The great tribulation is about to start. America is ripe for judgment, and the national debt is just one of the many great sins we've committed.

America has had more advantages than most nations - more Bibles, churches, preachers, teachers, freedoms, peace, prosperity and resources. We should have excelled in Bible-belief, but we have rejected the Messiah, Jesus Christ. Our punishment will be far greater than heathen nations.

Do you know how much the national debt is in 2007?

what to I say????

It's plain disgusting!!! That's what I say!

Boy, if I was to work for someone and squander the funds he entrusted to me that way, I'd not only get fired, but I'd go to jail for gazillions of years!



Thumbs down for the economy!

About a month ago, I was watching Larry King Live and they were talking about the economy. A guy working at the head of Wal Mart was telling them that NO WAY could the economy be good, that he was well placed to notice that the economy WAS NOT GOOD. The reason being the SPENDING PATTERN of the Americans. During each month, sales were steady, up until... THE LAST WEEK OF THE MONTH, where sales were down, simply because people did not have the funds to go buy groceries. And there is one thing we can't go without:

[b]FOOD!!!

That made me sick in my stomach to realize how much we were taken for dummies; not only that, but that the fact we were LIED AT!!!

(sickening!)

6 years ago,

PAUL O'NEIL at the US TREASURY DEPT said

there were about 7 trillion dollars of US GOVT BONDS AND NOTES outstanding.

plus,

the projected shortfall in funding for the entitlements, military retirement and healthcare was about 36 trillion dollars.

so, the TOTAL NATIONAL DEBT is about 7 plus 36 = 43 trillion dollars

43 trillion dollars divided among 300 million americans = 143,333 dollars per american

multiply that times 4 = $573,333 per family of four.

the NATIONAL DEBT is more than that now,,,,,,,,,MEDICARE has been enlarged (the new DRUG program was passed by Bush and Congress),.........and , in the last 6 years, Bush has had un-balanced budgets (the Wars)............

so, the national Debt is larger now than 6 years ago............but, i don't have those numbers.


this is a part of the END-TIMES ............God is WRATHFUL about all this stealing.

the USA govt is the biggest THIEF that the world has ever seen,............and they claim to be doing it in the name of RIGHTEOUSNESS AND CHARITY AND LOVE,.................what hypocrisy.


Jesus gave His most WRATHFUL, STINGING words to the HYPOCRITES.
