Proverbs 22:7 The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower becomes the lender’s slave.

When God speaks of the poor I do not believe he is talking about earthly things. I believe he is referring to heavenly or spiritual riches.

But you can apply the same to your earthly life. Mainly your material possessions.

Do not go into debt for unnecessary things.

Would it not be great if our government worked on the same idea. But no, the inside the beltway boneheads will not do that. They think the more money they spend on their districts the more votes they will get. The Bigger the nanny they are to us, the more they keep their plush jobs. The do not care about America, only themselves.

Oh there is that word again SELF.

You see we all have become so involved in our self we do not look out for each other. We are only looking out for what is in it for me. Sure we can do a fund raiser or something like that and then go home and feel so go good about our SELVES. We do not care how the people govern as long as we get our piece of the pie. We do not look past our little part of these great United States. We do not seem to care about the future of the USA. I really get tired of hearing it is for the children. Because if that was the case, why are we spending our children’s, grand children’s, and great grand children’s future right now.

Has any of us asked any elected reps how base line budgeting works, No. Because we do not care or we know the reps are going to lie to us anyway. Well here is a short course in it. Each Government department has a yearly budget. Well they have yearly increase of at least 4 percent no matter how far we are in a debt hole. Now let’s look at one year the tax money that comes in is good and there is extra money meaning more in taxes are taken in. So when that department budget is figured they can get 8 percent increase. The very next year we do not take in the same amount of dollars, therefor they only get a 4 percent increase in there budget. Now you will have one of the parties or the other screaming that the budget has been cut. They got a 4 percent increase so how the hell do these people in DC tell that the budget was cut when there is a 4 percent increase across the board. That is because we set on our butt and worry on who going to win some dumb reality show or who in Hollywood is doing who. Let us start doing some homework, holding the elected reps feet to the fire.

Demand the truth. Where in hell is our money going and for what.

Demand them to stop spending our money.

Demand an actual cut in the budget, not some smoke blown up our butts.

Demand we start using straight budgeting, spending only what is brought in.

Let us think in biblical terms Deuteronomy 15:6 For the Lord your God will bless you as he has promised you, and you will lend to many nations, BUT YOU WILL NOT BORROW : and you will rule over many nations but they will not rule over you.

Frugality produces Liberty,but spending produces slavery.
