Just a Thought...

We have more to worry about from the moral cliff than the fiscal cliff.

The moral cliff is at the end of the wide road that leads to hell. The road is level and pleasant at the beginning, filled with sinful pleasures along the way, but, as St. John Bosco saw in a dream, the farther souls travel on the road the steeper the descent becomes to the point it's so steep turning back is almost impossible. Imagine yourself sliding toward a precipice. Faster and faster you fall reaching for anything you can grasp to save yourself. You see the cliff below you and there is no way to stop. That is what Don Bosco saw in his dream of sinners on the road to hell. They literally slid down the incline and fell off the cliff into the hell fires below.

Sobering thought, isn't it? Of course, you can laugh and say you don't believe in hell, but what a surprise if you die and find out you were wrong. Pascal's wager still applies today. You have nothing to lose by acting like you believe in God and living a life of service and love of others. You have everything to lose, if you live a selfish, sinful life and find God's justice waiting for you on the other side.

Senate Gets Three Minutes to Read "Fiscal Cliff" Bill

This is pathetic! The bill (HB 8) increases taxes by $41 for every $1 cut in spending. And how much pork do you think is in the bill? Here are eight corporations getting fed. Bet there's lots more!

Eat the Rich: Then What?

The video below is almost two years old and since then we've moved a lot closer to the economic cliff. If you aren't nervous, you should be....especially if you are dependent on government to take care of you. Because the nanny state is running out of goodies and the only way to prop things up is print more money which increases inflation. So if you think you're poor now, just wait until your weekly grocery bill is $600.00 and you're eating oatmeal and beans. As of today, the national debt is moving rapidly toward $16.5 trillion dollars. Every U.S. citizen's share of the debt is over $52,000. According to Thomas Schatz, President of the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste:
The national debt has increased from $10.6 trillion to $16 trillion, or 50 percent, since President Obama took office. 
The national debt will increase from $16 trillion to $25.4 trillion in 2022, or 59 percent, under President Obama’s budget plans. 
Every man, woman, and child in the United States owes more than $50,000 as his or her share of the national debt. (Read the rest....)
This administration has a death wish for the U.S. and it is rapidly bringing it about. I sure don't want to hear whining from the Obama supporters when the inevitable happens.
