I have always tried to be careful in thought, and deliberate in evaluating situations, and not wildly jump to conclusions. Sometimes this is not possible due to the situation. But today the alarm bells must be rung as there is a legitimate emergency. The national debt has now officially exceeded the GDP. Although this has long been anticipated, the wolf is now at the door! Our national debt is growing faster than our economy. It is, in fact, an unsustainable situation for a stable economy. The brutally effective "Invisible Hand" will assure us of an unavoidable disastrous calamity. Unfortunately our elected officials are doing nothing to reverse the tend. In fact their irresponsible actions are adding fuel to the fire. This latest extension of the payroll tax cut, which will be paid for by borrowing more money, is a classic case of kicking the can down the road! I believe we are getting close to the end of the road.
On another note, here is a little something that will make you shake your head. If you apply for a job, there is in general a detailed application, a couple of interviews, and of course a mandatory drug test. If you fail just the drug test than say goodbye to the job. If you pass all the hurdles then you will be working five or six days a week for your paycheck. You will have to get up in the morning, wash and dress and travel back and forth to work. Work will occupy much of your time and energy. At the end of the week the government will then take some of your money away in the form of taxation. BUT, if you want the government to give you money for free, you need not work, and more importantly, you need not pass a drug test. That's right! Just fill out a simple application, go home and wait for the money to arrive. You will not have to get up early and prepare for work, nor must you travel. You can have the whole day to do whatever you like. Section eight housing, food stamps, Medicaid, and other free government benefits are there for the taking.
It's as if the inmates are running the institution!
Is it any wonder why our government is sinking further and further into debt?
