Over the years most of what this
man has said has turned out to be right. This time he is telling us
that our dollar is on the road to total collapse. If that happens
things will turn bad, really bad for us. Link is below.
Consider this quote: "The net
liability of the U.S. government, shared among its citizens, amounts to
almost...$1.1 million a head. And the government’s debt is growing at $1
million every 45 seconds. To cover its annual deficit, it is printing
$1 trillion a year of currency that is not backed by any asset
whatsoever." And another: "Behind the closed mahogany doors of the
world’s finance houses, elaborate and secret preparations are being made
for the upheaval and international financial collapse that will follow
the deliberate printing-out and consequent implosion of the dollar."
And why has this calamity fallen
upon us? Because "The once-mighty United States is now the most
indebted nation on Earth. In round numbers, here are just some of the
vital statistics as the patient dies: National debt: $17 trillion, or
$50,000 per man, woman and child, or $150,000 per taxpayer. Annual
federal deficit: $1 trillion. Medicare/Medicaid/Obama”care”: $1 trillion
a year. Social Security: another $1 trillion a year. Defense:
two-thirds of a trillion. Unemployment handouts: $2 billion per working
day. Debt interest: $1 billion per working day. Federal pensions,
ditto."
Who do we have to thank for
this? Our Federal Government (and to some degree our local and state
governments). As the President and his Administration and Congress
dally; the Federal Reserve prints funny money; big business/banking rack
up their riches; public educators/colleges and universities pour trash
into the heads of our children, youth and young adults; and the Media
issues forth its sometime filty and usually misleading/dishonest
propaganda, our nation slowly dies. All the while we, the taxpaying
public, are listfully footing the bill and letting it all happen.
Wise guidance we have failed to
heed: Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of
authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made
to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are
men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They
promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters.-- Daniel
Webster
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may
be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons
than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may
sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those
who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do
so with the approval of their consciences.-- C. S. LewisGeorge Burns
