You Sleep When You Die

For the first time in our country’s history, we have municipalities that could possibly go bankrupt. We have a national government that is trillions of dollars in debt, and that number is growing by the second. Why do you think that is?

We have a HUGE problem with elected officials in this country today, and it’s called CAREER POLITICIANS. For most of these people, political service isn’t about the issues. It isn’t about what they’re going to do for their country or their constituents. It’s about getting elected…over and over and over again.

Who uses checks anymore?? Believe it or not, there are still plenty of people in America that actually do!

Like the post office, checks served an obvious purpose when they were first conceived: they were developed as a convenient way to make payments without being forced to carry around large amounts of gold and silver. Clearly, that’s no longer an issue in this country! When’s the last time you had a hard time figuring out how you were going to get all your gold and silver to the store? Sound ridiculous? It is!!

Everybody knows times are changing – they always are. But there are several major changes taking place right now that you might not be aware of. And these changes will fundamentally alter this country as we know it.

First up, the post office. Yes, that’s right: The United States Postal Service (USPS). Most of us take it for granted that mail will be delivered to our mailbox six days a week come rain or snow. But do you realize that USPS is in SERIOUS, SERIOUS financial trouble?

I always say that this country would be much better off if businessmen and businesswomen ran it instead of career politicians. A story that aired last week on “The American Spirit” segment of the CBS Evening News reinforced this belief.

“I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies. If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation, then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around [the banks] will deprive the people of all property until their children wake-up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered. The issuing power should be taken from the banks and restored to the people, to whom it properly belongs.”

Would you believe that Thomas Jefferson said that in 1802? How crazy is that?? How absolutely brilliant must this man have been to have this much wisdom and insight more than 200 years ago?
