OUR FUTURE IS........ GREECE!!!   NO DOUBT ABOUT IT!!! 

IN the Rotarian Magazine this month:

Article on Greece:  A HIstory of the Crisis, page 42....

 

QUOTE:

 

.....traces the Greek economic crisis back to the early 1980's when AP became prime minister and TURNED THE PUBLIC SECTOR INTO AN IMMENSE RE-ELECTION MACHINE that handed our superfluous government jobs to political allies and their friends and relatives.  The offices were filled with people doing nothing.  THIS WAS A WAY TO BUY THEIR VOTE.   (In the USA......we would call it the UNIONS......the POOR "food stamps, etc."  ......  and SAVING people's homes........DO you think ALL/most of those people would THEN VOTE FOR THE PERSON WHO GAVE THEM THE MOST??? See the DeTocqueville quote below) 

 

He also doubled the minimum wage for civil servants and offered liberal retirement conditions and benefits.  Huge inefficient public companies (in the case of the US---can you say SOLYNDRA!!?? - I added this!) were KEPT AFLOAT with state funds, dozens of public universities were opened and kept tuition-free and openhanded government contracts were given to political allies.  Mayor of Athens said 'EVERYONE WAS MILKING THE CASH COW!'"  (DeJavu!) 

 

Also...."people were taking advantage of a PERMISSIVE WELFARE SYSTEM.  For example, people were collecting their blindness benefits and going out and driving taxis!!

 

GET THIS....."8 years after he became Prime Minister, in 1989,......  the Greek budget deficit had grown from 4.1 percent of GDP to more than 20 percent.......by 1996 at the end of his second term......1996......Greece's public debt had SOARED TO NEARLY 120 PERCENT.  (IN JUST 8 YEARS....HMMMMMMM....REMIND YOU OF ANYBODY....ANYTHING GOING ON....IN THE UNTED STATES??  HUH?  HUH?   !!) 

 

And...."All through the 1980's the Europeans were telling us to watch our spending and keep anyey on our deficits, BUT NO ONE LISTENED!!!!! ""     

 

My comments:

Remember the old phrase.."Those who don't know history are.....doomed to repeat it!!  "   

 

 

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE FROM THE TIME GREECE STARTED DOWN THAT ROAD?

From the early 1980's??    30 years? 

From the late 1990's ?  15 years?

From 2001 when Greece joined the EU?   10 years?
>From 2008 when the world economy went on the brink of destruction....and Greece then LED THE WAY FIRST??  4 years?

 

LOOK HOW FAST A NATION CAN DECLINE.......AND BE PUSHED TO THE BRINK...

 

GERMANY....

Lost the War in 1918....and only 20 years later they ready for the NEXT war.

Hitler rose to power in what.....1932?  1934?  I forget......BUT IN ONLY 4-6 MORE YEARS.....THEY FOLLOWED A NEW LEADER TO FOR WAR.  And only 6 years later.....they were a DESTROYED Nation....

 

HOW LONG DID IT TAKE....

Iceland to go under?

Ireland to go under?

Spain to be on the brink?

 

The US Housing bubble to come.....and go?   LESS THAN 6 YEARS!!!!!!! 

FNMA to go under......even after people were telling the US Government there were BIG problems....(AND YET, THE IDIOTS WHO GOVERNED OVER THEM......AND CONGRESS.....DID NOTHING

 

NOTHING!

 

Dear God....IS NOT THE HANDWRITING ON THE WALL???????

 

AND YET....... THE US ELECTORATE DID WHAT?

 

THEY RE-ELECTED.....ALMOST  EVERYONE !!!!!

 

EVERYONE.....WHO GOT US INTO THIS MESS IN THE FIRST PLACE.....

 

FROM THE PRESIDENT (4 TRILLION $$$'S LATER.....GUARANTEED $4 TRILLION DOLLARS MORE IN 4 MORE YEARS....PROBABLY MORE!!!!!! )

 

HOW MUCH MORE TIME DO WE....THE USA.......HAVE THEN??? 

 

 

I've been quoting this for months:

 

Alexis De Tocquville....   A Frenchman.......touring America in it's early days, in the early 1800's........He said this in his book:  Democracy in America"   .....

 

The American Republic will endure until the day Congress discovers that it can bribe the public with the public's money.

 

 

ARE WE THERE YET???????????????????????????????????????????????

 

DID GREECE FIGURE THAT OUT IN THE 1980'S?

HAVE THE DEMOCRATS FINALLY FIGURED THAT OUT.....AND PUT TOGETHER A PLAY-BOOK NOW THAT WILL CARRY THAT OUT UNTO OUR DESTRUCTION?????

 

TICK TOCK BABY..........

 

WITHOUT THE RAPTURE...

 

THIS......IS.......OUR....FUTURE.........  !!!!

 

1,2,3 ...

 

1- Obama wins....

2 -  the Middle East goes....BOOM!!!

and

3 - Hopefully, sometime NEAR the Attack of Israel on Iran....then Iran on Israel.....God steps in to a) PROTECT ISRAEL with HIS ALMIGHT HAND....and

 

b)  THE RAPTURE happens....

 

THAT....IS.....MY ...... HOPE.......

 

Oh....could it be in Jewish Year 5773......THIS YEAR.....from Rosh Hashanah 2012 (Sept 16-18, 2012) ....to Rosh Hashanah 2013  (Sept 5-7 2013) ...
