LYNN BERGMAN: MY NEW YEAR’S PRAYER FOR AMERICA
Debt
The current $38.4 Trillion U.S. National Debt is a result of excessive spending by government. At times when “society” is asked to do with less, “government” too often makes matters worse by pretending to be a benefactor, pretending it is “society.” Government’s logical role is inherently a punisher, whether it be unleashed on actual criminals or nations that act criminally.
Irresponsibility
When lazy and fear-obsessed voters put “free stuff” ahead of the “security” that government is best-suited for, we know that “individual responsibility” is the victim. Without nation-wide individual responsibility by members of society, there is nothing beneficial that government can do to create prosperity. It is the same “society,” not “government,” that can dig us out of the debt disaster we are facing. Society has the unique ability to give without first taking.
Class Envy
Rome was not built in a day… and the United States of America has faced “class envy” (that has risen exponentially over time) for its entire quarter millennium history. I pray for a continuation of the very recent spiritual revival in America where honest work, personal courage, faith, and family are held in high esteem and the Marxist “class envy” that is about to bankrupt us finds its rightful place in Hell, along with the questionable so-called “values” held by too many of Marxism’s “useful idiots” among us.
Love + Work + Courage
