You should read Psalm 29.

Give your heart to Christ. He is there for you.

Take care.

God has nothing to do with our financial distress. Our politicians have been rendering thus unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s great grandchildren for the past 30 years.

You think you have a complaint NOW? Make no cuts and see the Federal Workforce and federal pensions, and uniformed military/pensions, Medicare, Medicaid, SSI, SS, and foodstamps and everything else the government spends reduced to levels that can be supported on a “pay as you go” basis.

The effects of these cuts are wildly exaggerated - and you, if you know anything about government and military bureaucracy, are already aware of this.

The human stories that come to this thread, the indignance and the tales of woe are meaningless, unfortunately. The more important stories from small business owners and employers forced to pay for all of this spending (that which we choose not to steal from our children and grandchildren) are the real tragedies.

Our “conservatives” friends that are dependent on federal largesse - while assuming the mantle of Patriotism and Selflessness - that are complaining on this thread with deluded self-importance have a rude awakening. We can’t afford this bureaucratic mediocrity that they are part of.

If you want to go Biblical, instead of Psalm 29, look to what the Commandments say about stealing.

Sure, it doesn’t specifically call monetizing future government revenue through bond offerings “stealing” but that’s exactly what it is.

What are a few million government workers going to do when we can’t borrow money? What are 50 million food stamp recipients going to do? What are medicare recipients going to do?

These cuts HAVE to happen if we have a chance - and much much more behind those.
