The Future Falls to the Little Ones

We say we love our children, but do we really? Look at what we'll be leaving them: the United States is currently more than $16 trillion in debt and the country is morally bankrupt. But, it was the same way for us, wasn't it?

Although it will become our children's problem to solve, the decline began before our parents' generation. The debt wasn't as big and the moral decay wasn't as dramatic, but the tide had turned. Our downturn in both areas continues to be caused by our entitlement mentality; our selfishness. Now we're in a free fall that no one has the courage to stop because, due to the power of special interests, stopping it would require certain defeat come the next election.

Because the interest on our debt is constantly increasing, we will not see the complete economic recovery we're all hoping for. And, because we continue to kill our unborn babies by the millions and promote as normal the unnatural lifestyles that He calls abominations, God will surely not have mercy on us as He has in the past.

I challenge this generation of politicians to do what is necessary in order to salvage this once great nation, regardless of the political ramifications. I also challenge the voters to elect only those who will commit to our recovery, even if it is painful. Think of your grandchildren and the third world nation they'll inherit should we do nothing (see What Comes After, January 06, 2013).
