I saw your post, Timmy. When I was reading this thread the Lord brought this song to my mind:

Think about His love
Think about His goodness
Think about His grace that brought us through
For as high as the heavens above
So great is the measure of our Father's love
So great is the measure of our Father's love

Yep... I saw his post too. But he doesn't make any statement as to what he is trying to say so I'm not sure what to say back.

Oh, I was just quoting scripture that doesn't seem to have any relevance to the thread at all. Don't mind me!

So what will make our economy collapse? You guys make it hard to take anything you say serious when y'all start predicting collapse and failure.

The way I see it we could just balance the budget once the economy starts to grow and then as inflation weakens our dollar we will pay back the debt at a discounted rate.

Here is the situation we are in but in family terms.

Let's say you and your family were doing alright. You weren't getting rich but you weren't starving either.

Then you discovered you could have more stuff by using credit.

All of a sudden... a nicer house. New cars. Life is good.

You eat at the nice restaurants and grill around the pool.

But all of this is on credit.

Then you start having trouble making the payments so you start making payments on your credit with more credit.

Things get tighter and tighter and you have finally reached the place where you can't pay your mortgage... you can't pay the minimum payment on your credit cards etc.

There comes a time that the house of cards starts tumbling down. There comes a time when the facade cannot be maintained any longer and it usually comes down catastrophically.

Usually... once it starts crumbling you lose it all... fast.

That is where we are as a nation.

We have lived on debt and paid debt with debt until our only real asset is our ability to borrow.

The facade cannot be maintained any longer.

The day of reckoning for a society built upon debt is coming. And soon.

Well, the first thing you do is not panic.

Sell the car, start renting a small apartment, and then pay off the debt like Dave Ramsey says.

Most people I know are living way better than they could get by on. Part of the reason people are in debt is because of the high cost of housing. Housing is now affordable and this "collapse" was needed to help the next generation of families afford housing. A lot of folks made a lot of money on the housing bubble and some lost.

Look, the government could gut back spending a little and allow drilling in closed oil fields and the economy would start booming.

Obama is setting us up for a little heartache but a little tightening up never hurt anyone.

Delta my friend. Answer this question. Do you see this government (republican and democrat) cutting spending? do you see it happening?

Do you actually think this president has any intention of cutting any spending at all?
