The Death of the Dollar, The Decline of the US, & the Hardships to Come...

I was born in the Philippines. I was raised in America. Long ago in my youth my father would tell me that the United States of AMERICA was the land of milk and honey. It was where my dad said, "If you cannot make it in America, you cannot make it anywhere." I believed my father as a young child and continue to believe his great counsel.

I remember when Made in AMERICA meant something! It was the pride and privilege of living in this great country where "...life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" was what every good and honest heart desired.

The news reports with headlines reporting that Euros are accepted in the City that NEVER Sleeps brought about a sad moment in my heart:-( There is the first and most obvious signs to many Americans that the Death of the Dollar and the Decline of the US has begun to surface such as the tremors that are felt after an earthquake has hit.

In the days, weeks, and months, and especially in the near coming years, ALL freedom loving, good and honest people MUST prepare to withstand the storms that will come from all aspects of life. There, will be a shake up that will be so great in every sector of our economy that people will begin to act in a manner of the lower levels of Maslows Hiearchies of Needs.

The US dollar will no longer be the preferred currency of choice. Many governments that are against us will begin to rise up like an unruly student in a classroom. They will begin to defy the wishes of the White House. We will be like superman exposed to kryptonite. The status of super power will begin to dimish and turn to only a military might. It is as Ronald Reagan said, there can only be peace through strength - strength in the economy, strength in our military, and strength especially in our families.

The hardships are coming to our great nation. I believe we need to repent of our excessive spending, unfounded entitlements, lack of attention to our infrastructure, and the over abundance of outsourcing our manufacturing sector. The American people need to pull together and begin to seek out good and righteous men that care more about the country and its well-being than to care more about the greed and unethical standards practiced siliently in the rooms of corporate American and Wall Street.

It is when the middle class is dimished and moved to the lower class that hardships begin to surface. The perfect storm will be hitting the land of America the beautiful, which will become America the undesirable until it is clensed of its inquity from the halls of our political government, the floors of Wall Street, and the boardrooms of coporate America.

The Death of the Dollar is imminent unless, America shakes off the shackles of materialism, greed, and unbridled spending. It is in the words of French author, Alex De Tocqueville in Democracy in America when he came to America and was impressed by it, he wrote, "America is Great because America is GOOD, if America ceases to be good, it will cease to be GREAT!"

It is my hope that the good and honest men, women, and children of this nation will rise and serve the God of this land, and the words found in this once great currency - In God We Trust, will become true once again. May we not dishonor these words found on the American Dollar, or the Decline of the US & the Hardships will be swift and terrible.
