Grandich with some more interesting comments

The following question was set out for Peter G to answer:

"Do you think a conservative US gov’t can actually bring back economic prosperity with some tax cuts and de-regulation or is the US headed for a total collapse that will require starting over with a stable currency and little or no debt?"

Answer:
"It may seem to simple to some, but we can never really make any progress fixing the numerous problems we face in America until Americans in general come to terms with one thing – We’ve too much stuff! Wall Street and Madison Avenue have for years portrayed a myth that more money equals more happiness, and America has bought into it hook, line and sinker. You’ll know we are finally making progress when you see them closing down public storage facilities versus opening new ones. I don’t believe Americans are remotely close to taking the pain needed to fix things and will only seek quick fix solutions that do more harm than good. I don’t think either political party has the answer.

I will also mention two things:

1- The next war in America will be among classes of people. One group that holds the key are seniors. Look for them to become major players as things get worse.

2- Another myth Wall Street help create was the so-called “Golden Years”. Not only are seniors not going to experience the fables portrayed in the commercials from financial institutions, but the whole retirement thing is not spiritually correct. I don’t know of one bible verse that teaches us to work like dogs for 75%+ of our lives, gather up all the assets we can and then live the final years in some sort of special comfort that our slave days allowed. In fact, as Christians we fail by putting our trust in material things when scripture teaches us such choices will only have bad consequences.

people have said to me how nice it was for my wife and I to take in my soon to be 89 year old mom as if we did something special. Excuse me but that’s what all generations before us did as normal. Families lived with one another, not scattered in retirement homes, assisted living, nursing homes and the like. It isn’t easy but it’s nothing special."

More and more global "gurus" are sharing this view. Whats in store for our future?
