subject: Economic Common Sense? [print this page] Author: Ernie Fitzpatrick Author: Ernie Fitzpatrick
Ancient Hebraic wisdom has told us that there are SEASONS of life. A time to give birth, time to die; a time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build up. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance- and so forth. In other words, TIMES CHANGE! It's time for us to AWAKEN! America is headed down a road to MASSIVE CHANGES- and many aren't good! Capitalism has served America well. Capitalism is not perfect- what is? However, in our success (the first sign of failure is success), we have become lazy, pampered, and worst of all feeling that we're ENTITLED to more than we are. Is everyone entitled to an equal life, equal life style, or healthcare for ALL? Such thinking isn't real. Add to the thinking pot the fact the reality that we're pursuing insane economic policies. Did I mention that world is seeing what's going on? Smart people, smart money is seeing a nation (America) that has porous borders, an expanding national budget, continued spending to improve national healthcare and support at for a minimum of two wars, and is being led by politicians who are more interested in "their legacy" than that of America! National healthcare regardless of what the majority of its citizens want. Then on the other side of the world we see: a country which has four times as many people, no active wars, is the global leader in technology partnerships, is accumulating gold and silver, is greatly industrious, and has just become the biggest exporter on the planet while solidifying its banking reserves? Can you say China? Yes, the times are a changing, and the left wing policy agenda is speeding up that change not with economic common sense, but economic insanity!About the Author:

The world is in such a rapid expansion of knowledge that we are close to entering a tipping point that will forever change earth as we know it.
