The economy of the Union is not going to recover any time soon, in fact it is going to get much worse. The American economy is really going into an <strong><a title=\"economic black hole\" href=\"http:\/\/theeconomiccollapseblog.com\/archives\/economic-black-hole-20-reasons-why-the-u-s-economy-is-dying-and-is-simply-not-going-to-recover\/comment-page-1#comments\">economic black hole. <\/a><\/strong> <strong>The link gives 20 darn good easy to understand reasons why we are not on the road to recovery.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In this second article<a title=\"Norris gives Obama and Union a F\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=123023\"><strong> Chuck Norris gives Obama and the state of the Union a grade of F. <\/strong><\/a> Norris points out at least twenty additional reasons why the State of the Union is on life support. I think most of what Norris points out in the article can be summarized in just one sentence. <strong>If Americans do not return to a Christian wordview and follow biblical principles and elect moral people there is no hope for America.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If that article does not get people&#8217;s attention Vox Day tells us about the<a title=\"Zombies that ate America\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=123020\"> <strong>Zombies that ate America<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 The article is about the bankers that continue to rob the banks while they use a &#8220;no account system&#8221; that hides the fact that most of the banks are still going deeper in the red.<\/p>\n<p>Now I also hear that government wants <a title=\"Obama wants your retirement savings\" href=\"http:\/\/www.wnd.com\/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&amp;pageId=123024\"><strong>your 401K retirement account<\/strong>.<\/a> That is the last great pool of wealth in America for government to tap. From the article it seems that <strong>Obama wants to make you use your 401K savings account to lend money to the U.S. Treasury<\/strong>.\u00a0 Just think,&#8230; a national health plan like program for your retirement. I am sure you can trust our government to have the money for you when you retire. Gee&#8230;I wonder what happened to all the surplus money paid into the Social Security Trust Fund?<\/p>\n<p>Here is food for thought&#8230; you can invest in treasury debt and get interest rates well below inflation and watch the value of your nest egg shrink each year. Or if the nation defaults on its debt or revalues the dollar you can lose almost everything all at once. It sounds like the perfect transfer of your wealth to government retirement system to me. That is the people you elected America!<\/p>\n<p>If you read all those articles I think you should get the real picture about the real sorry state of the Union.\u00a0 If\u00a0 enough Americans actually learned about the state of their Union they might repent of their apathy and amorality and do something positive about it. If they do not, Amercians will soon be living in a failed state living under tyranny and persecution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I am sure Obama will spin his own scripted story of the state of the Union at his State of the Union Speech but the state of the Union is not going to be as stated by our lying politicians.
