- Are we, that is the good ole US of A heading for Economic Collapse? Looking at the current situation, as it only worsens, I would say yes. A system built on greed, speculation, attempted World Domination, not unlike the Roman Empire, is bound to collapse. Empire’s like Rome and the US inevitably fall. We cannot continue spend like a drunken sailor on war, neglect our economy, forget the poor and working class, ignore our infrastructure, and expect to continue. We cannot continue to bail out the banks with hundreds of billions of dollars, at the workers expense and deny a deep recession is happening. Of course, I am referring to the “we” as not the average person, but the wealthy, the powerful, the politicos, and the Corporations. Isn’t strange that we can bail out the wealthy with our hard earned dollars, but nothing is done for us, the workers, the “middle class”, and the poor. It is long past time for a revolutionary movement of the poor and working class. Is civil unrest on the horizon, if things don’t change soon? I believe so. Isaiah, the prophet tells us in Isaiah 10: 1-4, ” Woe to you who make unjust laws that deprive the poor of their rights, what will happen to you in the day of judgment” (paraphased). I am all to aware of the struggle personally to barely make ends meet. Not only myself and my roomates, but the ministry in general is struggling to make it, sometimes running several hundred, even thousands, short every month. It is time more than ever for everyone, especially the Church, to abandon greed and the “American dream” and collectively share all things in common. Well, these are just the rantings of a flawed minister, struggling to make it and journey with my fellow sojourners. More to come…………….
