The No Growth Zero Sum Pie
Has
America reached the stage where we all stand in a circle and take turns holding
a constantly shrinking dollar?
If
our Dear Leader and the Daley led Outfit wins re-election next year perhaps a
few more people will see the hand writing on the wall. Though the Constitution
is undeniably the greatest work to come from the hand of man, though it provided
the safe haven of freedom for generations it is today a dead letter. If after
the coming November election the Democrats tax storm sweeps us down the economic
drain and inflation kicks in those dazed by the success of the Chicago system in
re-electing the first anti-American president then the silent majority will be
ready to hear the watchmen on the walls.
We
have sold our birthright for a bowl of entitlements. We have stood silently by
while corrupt politicians have looted our posterity of opportunity and hope. We
have allowed our Federal Government to assume powers never delegated to them by
the Constitution. We have spent the revenues of the future for a present that
no longer resembles the last best hope of mankind. We have followed the pipers
from the Land of the free and the home of the brave onto the road to serfdom and
we are about to learn that he who pays the piper calls the tune.
While
our nation wallows in the Great Recession which our Progressive leaders and
their water boys in the Corporations Once Known as the Mainstream Media keep
trying to tell us is over China keeps eating our lunch. Starting with NAFTA
both Democrats and Republicans have agreed to free
trade deals that aren’t free and have suppressed our trade. For these
economic geniuses who think they can centrally plan the largest economy in the
history of the world let me spell this out slowly and clearly:
- If you buy more than you sell you have a negative balance of trade
- If you spend more than you make you eventually go bankrupt
AND…..
- Everyone else except you seems to know these two simple truths.
Maybe
our economic geniuses should try Economics 101. They want us to accept that
America has become a no growth zero sum pie. It doesn’t fit their game plan to
take their foot off the throat of the economy. If they did it would roar to
life as the liberty and opportunity which is our heritage, and once again prove
that free people making free choices is the best way to grow the pie and enrich
the people.
A
new book calls President
Obama an amateur, and at first glance he may appear to be one. However he
does not stand alone. He is the front man for a triumphant Progressive
Movement which has successfully implemented a strategy that has taken more
than a century to mature. Starting in the 1890s they set their sights on
education capturing the universities and then training generations of teachers,
journalists, and lawyers. These people have infiltrated every aspect of our
lives dumbing down successive generations while Progressive politicians have
worked at getting a majority of the voters addicted to government handouts.
Then in the1960s the Cloward and Piven
Strategy was embraced as a way to spend the country into oblivion so that it
could be remade in a Progressive image. Step by step, inch by inch, line upon
line these webs have been woven, and as the average American twists and turns
trying to find some avenue of escape from the shabby future these want to be
commissars have planned, all they see is the party line on the major networks
telling them everything is coming up roses.
It
is time to WAKE UP! It is time to prepare as if the world we have known will
end and expect major dislocations in every aspect of life. Even an overwhelming
defeat for President Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and the rest of their
fellow travelers will only mean this train wreck is slowing down. The so-called
draconian Ryan
Budget never gets to a balanced budget for 40 or 50 years. More than 30
years out the national debt is still growing. Projections show that by 2025
the interest on the debt alone will begin to consume any hope of getting out of
the trick bag they have spent us in to. Our elected leaders have no plan to
reverse the decline. They merely want to manage it in a more orderly
fashion.
Each
of us must decide what is most important. Each of us must either prepare for
the coming contraction or hit the wall like a crash dummy.
Personally
I have decided that family is more important than career, food is more important
than convenience, and honor is more important than status. I have left the
tenured halls and headed for the hills. I have abandoned friends of many years
to be surrounded by family. I have embraced the soil to grow my own food. In
other words, I believe I have been to the top of the mountain, I have seen what
is coming, and I have taken my own advice.
When
I was the Dean of a School of Christian Ministries I used to tell my students to
prepare as if there was no Holy Spirit and preach as if there were no notes.
Today I advise my readers, prepare as if the America we have known and loved is
about to be transformed before our eyes into a social democracy of European
proportions, and live as if there is still hope.
For
as long as we believe there is still hope we will not be hopeless.
So
we come to the ultimate message: hope in Christ and you will never be
disappointed. All things must pass and only those things done in Christ will
last. All empires fall. It is our place in History to watch the slow motion
fall of a mighty empire: Western Civilization. But if we hold on to what is
true, if we stand for what we believe, though a thousand fall on our right and
ten thousand fall on our left it will not come upon us.
