Man's Greed gets the best of all of us


This started out as something you didn't like to hear, people who took out loans they can't pay and then we moved into financial businesses like the once famous HomeBanc here in Atlanta that was the pinnacle of how to treat employees and was in one of the best places to work in America but a change in leadership and greed lead to all losing their jobs in about five years with the beginning of the downturn.
Then this had to start moving into another area but do notice how it was like the Wizard of Oz {PAY NO ATTENTION TO THAT MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN!} that the media even didn't think of what the next step could be... Ron Paul looks like a genius now..............and because the leaders were hoping the pace of the economy would pick up but instead it got heavier and then they all started to recreate the scene in "It's a Wonderful Life," and I believe that most of the last four weeks was carefully orchestrated to be released in order to avoid margin call on all of this. It was too much coming out one at a time.
Now, don't you find it interesting that when we have the weakest leadership in Washington on both sides of the coin that this happens. This a chance for true leaders to stand up and be known. Everyone was eager to just sign onto the $700b bailout but some said. Hold on here, let's make this better.
Oh, there are so many men and women in Washington today that are more worried about re-election than they are our country. Like some Kings in the bible right?
There are so many in the media that are progressives that don't work in a real world, they cover the real world and never actually have to make decisions in it so they are always telling us what SHOULD have happened. Not in the fray but covering it is so much easier. Reading a teleprompter makes them someone we should trust. I think not.
We neeed real reform, we need to look at different tax structures, we need to repeal Sarbanes Oxley-it failed and we need to turn to the Lord and ask for forgiveness as a nation.
My only hope from all this is that deep with men's souls to get involved now in changing the structure in Washington and turn to God for wisdom.
Some can but just like other great cultures we have gotten too smart, too materialistic, for God. After all how can you believe all that? It's just a myth...just stories.....
For like the Roman empire we have reached our peak and now morally and ethically we are headed in a downword slope.
May the Lord have mercy on the United States of America.
