Pogo Was Right

I hope I am wrong but am afraid I am not.

It seems to me that our Congress and Administration is  in the process of doing something Osama Bin Laden tried, but failed to do when he planned the destruction of the  Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.   One of Bin Laden’s major goals was to severely damage, and he hoped, destroy our economy.

Our Government (Administration and Congress)  is now exploding our national debt by spending something like one hundred and eighty five percent of revenues.   In addition they are in an ongoing campaign to destroy what is left of the economy through Government run Health Care, Cap and Trade and other wasteful “Boondoggles”.

They are running up a crushing debt that our children and grandchildren will have to face as either ruinous taxation or hyper-inflation or both.

As POGO said:  WE HAVE MET THE ENEMY AND HE IS US.  (Walt Kelly)

Osama Bin Laden just might be laughing himself silly in a cave somewhere.  We are doing it to ourselves!

Please tell me I am wrong!

A Thought I Had Today

August 16, 2009 By: bob Category: Something To Think About

 

I am seriously concerned that our culture lacks the collective self discipline to survive.  Let me explain.

It is my belief that at some point the number of individuals who want to live without rules, responsibility or consequences for their actions  may reach “critical mass” and our great experiment with self government may decay into anarchy and chaos.

I do not know what that critical mass is but I suspect that five percent of our population cannot support the other 95 percent.  The “math don’t work”.

Think about it.  Most of the worlds great belief systems are founded in personal self discipline.  Success in almost all endeavors  requires we apply discipline to achieve goals.  Consider Business, Academics & Sports.  Am I wrong?
