Our ship of state is headed for parts unknown. We are borrowing money at a rate that is unbelievable. In 2002, our national debt was at $5.98 trillion. Now our national debt is $12 trillion. In one year, it is expected to be at $14 trillion. These numbers are too large for our country to handle. Something has to give. Either we slow down the runaway spending train and restrain spending. Or we continue spending and end up at a location where we do not want to be.
On CNBC a few days ago, there was an expert on by the name of Damon Vickers. He projects that if this rate continues that the dollar will disappear and a new currency will be put in place which will enable a New World Order. This New World Order cannot be good for liberty. It would almost certainly involve some sort of a totalitarian government. That means a loss of freedom. I don’t know how you feel, but that is not good for me or my grandchildren. In my mind, we have to do everything we can to stop this from happening.
There is something we can do about this situation. The first thing is that we can stop spending money like we have lots of money to spend. A warning was issued by China because they questioned the cost of the Obamacare bill being considered in the Senate. Now, I do not want to be told what to do by Communist Chinese, but they have a point. We do not have the money, so why not stop and pay off what we already owe. That would necessarily mean living through a “Great Depression” period in history. Living through a “Great Depression” would not be as bad as my parents and grandparents lived through that time period. They came out of the Great Depression stronger than they went in. I believe that we as Americans would do the same if forced to live through a similar situation. But, come out of it we would.
That is the first thing we could do. Of course, that would put us exactly 180 degrees out of phase with the Obama administration. The Obama administration is committed to weakening the dollar and driving up the national debt. That is not good according to the economist interviewed by CNBC. The interesting thing about the interview by CNBC is that the host of the show did not seem flustered about the information that Mr. Vickers had to say. He just asked about the global currency problem that starts the One World Government. I would have asked questions about what he meant when he mentions what will happen. That would get him to clarify his points for the audience. To me a New World Order is a bad thing.
If we get our financial house in order, we can reclaim our country. Right now, our country is being stolen from us by banking institutions and people bent on destroying our way of life. They want to create a totalitarian government in place of our republic. In my mind, totalitarian governments are not good. People living under a totalitarian government do not have the freedoms guaranteed to us under the Constitution of the United States. I do not want to live under a totalitarian form of government. I like the freedoms guaranteed to every member of the United States of America. I want to continue living under those freedoms. I want those freedoms for my children. I want those freedoms for my grandchildren. If that means I have to live with less to make sure that they have those freedoms, then I will take less.
This boils down to the fact that we do not need the Democrats “Nanny State” ideas. We can do without the “Nanny State” for this generation and for every generation of Americans to come. We are Americans. Americans are great because we are free to succeed and fail. A “Nanny State” tries to prevent anyone from failing. That is where they always fail in a much larger extent than just one person at a time. They do it a country at a time. That is catastrophic for a country. We need to install an individual’s right to fail. That may sound bad, but it is actually good. Without the right to fail, you really do not have the right to succeed. You need to be able to succeed to get ahead in this world.
Americans need to take charge of their own lives and those of their children and grandchildren. They need to throw out anyone who promises to keep them safe from failure. Those are the snake oil salesmen that are getting us into deeper trouble. We need to find the real American leaders that will allow us to succeed or fail. That is the American way.
