Economy in Crisis...Part I

Welcome to midweek my friends and thank you for joining me tonight. I apologize for missing last nights article but the topic that I’m covering tonight required a little more lead time to research. What you’re about to read right now should make up for last night. Please open your mind and get ready to see what is happening in in America and across the globe and try to grasp what will need to be done to point us back in the right direction.




Has anyone been following the news coming out of Europe and in particularly Greece recently? If you haven’t I highly suggest that you begin paying attention. Greece has been turned upside down in recent days and weeks by riots. The government in Greece is flat broke. The reason they are broke is due to entitlement programs and wasteful spending that has run amuck. Everyone gets a free handout. On top of that the government in Greece owes tons of money in pensions to everyone who has retired. All of a sudden the government in Greece has said that they can’t afford to keep giving free handouts to everyone. In addition some peoples pensions are getting cut. Needless to say the people that have been getting the handouts are rioting. Bottom line is that normally the dog won’t bite the hand that feeds them…until the dog quits feeding them that is.



My friends this is just the beginning of a set of dominos that is about to fall. Many other governments in Europe are in the same condition and it is only a matter of time that we will see this in other European countries. So why is this important to you and me? Because in addition to Europe this will probably come to an American city or state near you sometime soon. Stock up on supplies people and lock and load. You’re going to need it!



In America, and the world for that matter, it should be noted that there are two groups of people. For sake of this article we will call the two groups “workers” and “users”. The “workers” are the ones who go out each day and work hard for a living, don’t expect handouts from the government, pay their bills, and in general contribute to society. The “users” are the ones who are a drain on society due to their dependence on social programs and free handouts. These two groups have coexisted for a very long time. There was a time when there was a decent balance among these two groups. That balance is now gone. The “users” now far outweigh the “workers”. A few are providing for the many and the government is allowing it to happen. Top this off with wasteful government spending on items that are not needed and you have a recipe for disaster.



More and more entitlement and social programs are creating a huge drain on the economy here in America. This cannot continue. Put bluntly, it is an unsustainable practice that is leading us down a dangerous path. You cannot keep spending more money than you bring in. Sounds like common sense right? You would think so but unfortunately our Federal Government can’t seem to get a handle on this basic premise. What this is leading to is a situation where you currently have a group of very angry American citizens. This group is the “workers”. The “workers” are fed up with having to kill themselves to work hard each week while watching their money get taken from them to fund wasteful spending and the “users” who fail to contribute. These people are angry! And who can blame them? And it is important to note that they are not just angry at the Federal government but at the local and state government as well. The wasteful habits run deep throughout this country. And it should also be noted that it doesn’t just include the government. I’ll touch on what I mean by this later. PAY ATTENTION HERE…Mark my words that when it comes to anger the “workers” will not be alone for long. The “users” will be joining them in due time. Why you ask? Just like in Greece the dog will bite the hand of the master when it quits feeding them. Please understand my friends that the “user” dog will quit being fed very soon. It is inevitable.



So what is the solution? It should be noted that it is a long road to recovery due to the huge amount of debt that has been racked up. It should also be noted that the principle that can put the ship back on course is a very simple premise but will require some pain and sacrifice to put it into practice.



Stay tuned…I’ll get more into the coming anger of the “users”, additional areas of waste, and the way to get the train back on the tracks in the coming nights. Please take notes, tell your friends about these articles, and get involved in your local, state, and federal government. TAKE ACTION…Till tomorrow night…



STAY INFORMED, STAY ALERT, STAY SAFE
