Proclaiming faith in God will not fix our economic problems. It may give you and others inner peace, but it won't solve the implosion of the social welfare state. Many people consider themselves good Christians, have faith in God and STILL reliably vote for liberal Democrats. This is because they believe God would have us support a social welfare state such as the one bankrupting us now.
While I agree a stronger God fearing nation would do a lot of good, this economic fight is going to require charismatic, strong leadership and all of us deciding to get out there and change minds and convince people we are in for a world of hurt if we don't reform and curtail the entitlement state.
Retreating to faith in God alone simply will not help solve these problems. By your logic the American revolution would have just sorta worked itself out and good people wouldn't have had to have been willing to fight, kill and die in order to create the United States in the first place. More than faith is required. People have to stand up and be counted.
I agree with everything you have said on this thread. But the deeper problem is this: even Ronald Reagan (or any other great, natural-born charismatic leader) on his best day would get trounced in an election if he told the American people: 1) the depth of our structural problems and 2) what would be required to fix these problems. The days when a simple depression could purge the excesses, imbalances, and bad debt from the system, are over. It is now a global problem, and one which would require societal changes which just aren’t going to happen politically (they will happen, but through systemic collapse, not the political process).
Kicking the can further down the road, is unfortunately the only politically realistic “solution”.
