I don’t know about you, but I’m tiring of that term. I have been in the workforce for more than ten years and in that time I’ve never found a more skittish bunch of folks. In attempting to protect that which they have created, these people are doing more harm than good. In cutting people off at the knees, they are in fact creating the very problem they are trying to combat. Hearing that so many thousands of people have defaulted on their home loans, leaders in the business community have decided that people have no money to spend, have tightened up on their wallets to make ends meet. In order to combat this, they have set about a slash and burn tactic that appears to be doing what it’s set up to do. What the problem is with this strategy is that the jobs that are being cut are causing people to second guess those purchases that they would have made while they had jobs. The people in this country don’t purchase based on the cash they have. If they did, we’d still be fine. No, the American people have dug themselves into a big, deep, plush and fancy hole out of which they will never climb. It’s difficult for these people to have a Merry Christmas because A) they don’t think Christmas is about Christ & B) the more credit you have, the better you live. Don’t people realize that credit doesn’t give YOU ownership of anything?! It’s a terrible thing to be in debt of someone. Remember Romans 13:8, which follows:
“Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.”
It can’t be more plain. Stop this insanity! This nation cannot truly be a nation while we’re indebted to so many on so many different levels. It’s ridiculous that all these people have built these institutions that they hold so dear and for what? So they can’t destroy each other in the name of Commerce? I can’t handle it!
