It is Burning so Quickly
I read today in Proverbs 22, “The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is slave to the lender.”
In the context of the debt ceiling debate, it strikes me that the Scriptures predicted the nature of the worst traits of the political class. Is there a defense to the abuse of power by the rich? A defense for the current leadership generation (Baby Boomers) selling my generation (Gen X) into economic slavery with this debt? This D.C. spectacle is Nero’s Colosseum, where blood sport lulls the body politic into a lethargy, watching death and slavery unfold as they cheer. While its greatness burns down around them. It is burning so quickly.
What is the answer?
