Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

October 5, 2009

People in positions of responsibility who claim an economic recovery is at hand are either clinically deranged or criminally dishonest.

Detroit, once the hub of America?s industrial economy, is plummeting into third world status. Unemployment is at nearly 28 percent, and bodies are piling up in morgues because nobody can afford to pay for burials or cremation.

Las Vegas, an oasis of corrupt opulence in a vast desert, is disintegrating. Half-finished construction projects litter the city; home foreclosures ravage the residential sections.

Unemployment has spiked, and stock prices for the MGM Mirage and Las Vegas Sands have dropped as much as 99 percent.

The Guardian of London notes that California, the world?s eighth ?largest economy, is on the brink of becoming a ?failed state.? Unemployment has climbed to 12 percent ? highest in 70 years ? workers are being paid with IOUs, and hundreds of thousands are fleeing the state.

These aren?t low-water marks. They?re portents of dire times to come.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
