THE U.S. FEDERAL DEBT CLOCK: Prov. 22:7 ...

Want to see something both sobering and amazing? ...The Federal Debt Clock ...http://zfacts.com/p/480.htmli was doing some research on the federal debt as each president came into office from ...Truman in 1945 = $259 billion(added $16 billion)Ike in 1953 = $275 billion(added $21 billion)JFK in 1961 = $296 billion(added 13 billion) Johnson in 1963 = $309 billion(added $59 billion)Nixon in 1969 = $368 billion(added $124 billion)Ford in 1974 = $492 billion(added $226 billion)Carter in 1977 = $718 billion(added $282 billion)Reagan in 1981 = $1 trillion(added $1.9 trillion)Bush Sr. in 1989 = $2.9 trillion(added $1.5 trillion)Clinton in 1993 = $4.4 trillion(added $1.4 trillion - And if you're wondering how this could be so when we were supposed to have a surplus after the Clinton administration that workedlike this: Social Security benefits, budget projections and the fact that Clinton didn't spend all of the revenue recieved from all the foriegn bought Treasuries sold during his presidency was somehow sold to the gullible American public as a Budget Surplus ... Under Dem's and Repub's alike the debt just keeps going higher.GWB in 2001 = $5.8 trillion(added so far as of 3/31/05 $2 trillion and steady climbing)From: The Public Debt Onlinehttp://www.publicdebt.treas.gov/opd/opd.htm

this can't be a good thing...if thismoney doesn't turn up...we are in trouble, it'll be over. We don't export much do we? if not then there is nowhere for the money to come from is there?

Ironman ... As Tonto said (way before your time) to the Lone Ranger when the Lone Ranger got into trouble with the Indians, "What you mean WE Kimosabi"? ... :-D We are children of the King, and the only trouble we can possibly have is displeasing Him in wilful sin ... i posted this not as an instrument of worry and concern for believers, walking after the Spirit, for we have not the spirit of fear ...Prov.2[23] Then shalt thou walk in thy way safely, and thy foot shall not stumble.[24] When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet.[25] Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh.[26] For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken.i posted this to show the madness of a government and society that worships materialism to the point of OD'ing on debt ...When we see these things occur we are to lift up our heads and rejoice for our deliverance draweth nigh ... There will soon come a time when this clock will slow down majorly, at which point Holy Spirit will have the undivided attention of all who actually are Christ Church ...So don't count yourself amongst the infidel, fear not, and just keep on keeping your nose clean with our God ... Amen

Fiat money has been the real enemy. Both Repubs and Dems are terrible stewards. When you don't have to worry about a commodity to back up the paper, who can resist firing up the printers when the economy needs more stimulus? The Bible speaks of personal debt as a curse but America along with most other industrialized nations are building entire economies out of credit.

RahmanI'll have you know I have heard of tonto and his buddy lone ranger...:PYou know thre average joe blow doesn't know about all this and just goes on with life oblivious to the impending judgement. So joe blow will be caught off guard, but for those walking in the spirit, it will be a time in which God's provisions and workings will be unlike ever before.

The Bible speaks of personal debt as a curse but America along with most other industrialized nations are building entire economies out of credit. makes you wonder what sort of judgement comes with that curse doesn't it?

Krispy, I know what you wanted to say :Pquote]If y'all wanna get scared, I recommend a book called "The Creature From Jeckyll Island". It documents where the Federal Reserve came from, and how it operates. It's not what you think... and it will scare the... heck... out of you.

it seems to get worse and worse the more I learn about this economy...if the moneytary system is a house of cards then one hard blast of wind and it's all gone...oh well the Lord will hold His children up and provide for them in an unprecedented way when the judgement begins. We're about to see God move in a way that will be beyond what the church of old saw. Be ye ready brethren!

Here's a thought kiddies. . .we have faith that the dollar we give (or 1.25) for a soda is backed by a power enough to make it worth what it says. . what would happen if we had the same kind of faith in prayer? (not that we don't--i guess i mean, like, all the time)

(not that we don't--i guess i mean, like, all the time)I guess it's not touted "the almighty dollar" for nothing...you make a good point. are we afraid to exercise faith?

Reply as a student who is incurring debt in england , when I looked up money and its history it is based on trust between the state and the citizens. If a country loses faith what state what will that have on the money system I am including england as england as we have a large debt too. It may be time for manna time!!
