Is The Sky Falling?

The financial crisis has surely affected the presidential race. There really isn't much else for Obama or McCain to talk about that has as much relative significance. The Global markets have followed suit fueled by the dilemma of the USA. The rest of the countries don't seem to have the where with all to administer a quick fix like the USA just implemented. The European countries are blaming each other. Is the Sky falling? I don't know for sure but the economics of mankind seem to be an area of extreme vulnerability. This is the kind of feeling that I get when a hurricane destroys our cities. We are rendered helpless. As advanced as we are, we cannot handle the fury of nature. Nature is an outside force. This economic crisis is a symptom of a much greater cause or influence. This comes from within. We are reaping what we have sown. The United States has some serious moral and ethical problems. What we are experiencing now as remedies are nothing more that an attempt to eliminate the symptoms.

It's very difficult for me to watch the political process unfold this fall because the real problems can never be addressed because they are not political. The problems we are encountering have a whole lot to do with the injustice that exists. We do not have the conscience to administer justice. We are too political. We are content with blaming each other. That is an injustice. You don't want your doctor to put a band aid on your cancer and then send you home. That would be suicidal. This is what we are doing with the economy. There are hearings going on in congress that are supposed to expose those responsible at AIG, Leman and others. I am very tired of all of this because somehow I never feel that justice is being served.

I am in great fear that we as a country are in danger of complete collapse because we lack the moral integrity to administer justice. In the private sector, there is no bailout. Heads have to roll. People get fired and replaced. This mortgage crisis happened because the oversight of those in control was just not there. The CEO's along with some of our congressional leaders were rolling in the dough with these bad mortgages until the folks they loaned the money to began to default one after another. No closing costs. No down payment. They just financed the whole thing just to get people through. Even a good gambler wouldn't take those odds. The downfall was inevitable. Some of this stems from a political agenda that wants to give the people in the lower socia-economic level the opportunity to have their own home. They get a lot of votes from this sector of society and so that is what I believe is the real motive. That's akin to giving a child a B in school that deserved a C or a D. Giving the child a B is supposed to make him feel better but it is actually presenting a false hope to the child. It's not the truth.

The congress needs innoculated with truth serum. Quit covering up. Quit blaming. Take responsibilty for what happened in the financial markets and then administer solutions. I think that congress is trying to do this now. I'm not sure how it is all going to turn out but this sure makes you want the government of God on this earth. We desparately need a righteous monarchy led by a perfect king. When He speaks, we listen. End of story. It is becoming very apparent to me that we cannot govern ourselves.
