Let's Hope Glenn Beck is not a Prophet! Things aren't looking good if he's right!

Unfortunately, Glenn Beck is often absolutely on target. Which means we all better be on our knees preparing like the people of Nineveh for some very rough times. God often uses chastisement to bring us to our knees, so let's not fear it, but do what the people of Nineveh did. Now if only dear leader would be the one to put on sackcloth and ashes and call for the people of the United States to do penance. I don't think we'll see that sad to say. No matter what happens, keep the faith!

 

How to Kill an Industry and Lose Jobs

How US Sugar Policies Just Helped America Lose 600 Jobs
Our policies make absolutely no sense. Now, when the problem is state regulation, industries can just move to a more business friendly state. I remember Mike Farris comparing the laws related to hog raising between two southern states. One's loss of producers was the other state's gain.  But what can you do when the feds create barriers? Good-bye jobs!

Maybe in fifty years people the illegal immigrants will be U.S. citizens heading to Mexico for jobs.

Sunday thoughts on the economy

The economy is on most people's minds these days. But some things never change. Here are some famous voices from ancient history. What do you think they would say about the U.S. economy?

The arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled, and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest Rome become bankrupt. [Does this make you think of anyone in particular?]

Cicero - 106 - 43 B.C.

Economy is too late when you are at the bottom of your purse. [Perhaps this explains why the administration continues to spend like a drunken sailor. Heck...it's too late anyway. Why stop now?]

Seneca - 4 B.C. to 65 A.D.

How great, my friends, is the virtue of living upon a little! [We are all likely to experience this in the days ahead! So put your trust in God instead of in your pocketbook.]


Horace 65-8 B.C.

And here's one modern voice of common sense who sums it up pretty well.

We might come closer to balancing the Budget if all of us lived closer to the Commandments and the Golden Rule. [Amen!]

Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
