Judgment is coming

When the global economic meltdown comes, more than the credit markets will freeze. All other forms of capital exchange will begin to freeze. This has implications for energy, transportation, agriculture, water and telecommunications utilities, everything. The United States congress WILL hash out a compromise deal acceptable enough to be passed or we shall witness God's judgment upon this nation and the world. Billions will suffer malnutrition, preventable disease, threats of violence, or the loss of democratic freedoms. Millions may even die from starvation, plague, civil unrest, a new tide of totalitarianism. All because we are a divided nation. But are we going to leave Congress unpunished should the worst scenario materialize because of their intransigent pride and selfish ego? In an increasingly nuclear age, the unthinkable has just become possible. I've seen this day coming since 2001 (thanks to my advanced education), but I thought this day would be over a decade from now. Now I feel like America is Babylon and the Persians are at the gate (figuratively, but don't get me started on Israel and Iran's nuclear ambitions). This may be the day history remembers that America finally lost its status as a superpower. But history is only hindsight. Great Britain thought itself a superpower right up until the day Hitler bombed London. Think about it.
