Funny, there's not much talk about inflation being a good thing anymore either.
When was inflation ever a good thing? Biden and his handlers have made it a practice to put a spin on every evil and destructive action of theirs and make it sound positive. Biden's press secretary had the gall to recently claim that the economy had never been stronger! That is called "gaslighting", and it is the same with absolutely every issue.

Inflation is an indirect tax, and the reason for inflation is very simple. The government of the United States has been grossly over-spending irresponsibly and wastefully for decades, and the so-called Republicans have participated in this criminal ad fraudulent practice shamelessly. This has caused the budget deficit and national debt to skyrocket. And the national debt will never be repaid.

Another thing to note is that the The U.S. Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (which is under the Biden administration) publishes figures on inflation. Does anyone even care to investigate whether they are simply pulling numbers out of thin air? Lately people are being told that inflation is merely at 9%. But if gas prices have more than doubled, and all other prices have increased by 20% to 100%, how can inflation be only 9%? So the true number should probably be 50%. Now if this number were to be published daily, people would be outraged and demand that the the president and all politicians resign immediately. Either that or a coup would be necessary.

Well they can honestly say it is 9% because they changed the basket of goods they count towards inflation! both parties have done it since the early 80's. If we measured inflation by the standard before all the shenanigans started in the 80's it would be more like 23%

When in the course of human events... like 1776. Which only succeeded as God wished, desired, made it to be so.

But that doesa not mean God blessed it. Teh American Revolution was sin. Biblically we are not to rebel against government. Jesus made that perfectly clear! We are not to obey an edict if it is unbiblical, but not to rebel authorities.

Remember Hitler did not come to power unless god allowed it.

i have to disagree with this. The American Revolution was not sinful, we were not the aggressors, king of england was when they tried to confiscate all weapons and ammo from the people. Now the south starting the civil war could be viewed as sinful because the south started the war unprovoked. The key is, who started the conflict. If the govt starts it, say by banning guns and ammo, a God given right, then it is right for the people to fight back.

but what does the bible say?

Romans 13
King James Version

13 Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.

2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.

3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

5 Wherefore ye must needs be subject, not only for wrath, but also for conscience sake.

6 For for this cause pay ye tribute also: for they are God's ministers, attending continually upon this very thing.

7 Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due; custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.


Ephesians 6:5-7
King James Version

5 Servants, be obedient to them that are your masters according to the flesh, with fear and trembling, in singleness of your heart, as unto Christ;

6 Not with eyeservice, as menpleasers; but as the servants of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart;

7 With good will doing service, as to the Lord, and not to men:

Matthew 22:16-22
King James Version

16 And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men.

17 Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not?

18 But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites?

19 Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny.

20 And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription?

21 They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.

1 Peter 2:18-19
King James Version

18 Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward.

19 For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.

Matthew 5:41
King James Version

41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.

This had to do with the Roman legions. they would force the citizens of the towns they passed through to bear the armies loads through the area- then get the people from the next town to carry on etc.

there is no biblical warrant for we as believers to seek to overthrow a government no matter how evil it is. we do not have to obey their unbiblical commands, but then we must be ready to bear the consequences.

Im not talking about over throwing a govt. our Founders didnt overthrow the english govt, they created a new one. Their rights were being threatened, they left and moved some 3000 miles away, their rights were still being threatened, so they created a new one. Ole king george didnt like that, so he tried to destroy America. Most people in authority hate to lose power. War was the only way.

History happens according to the direct will of God for mankind.
While predestined events are sure, predicted and certain, such as this,
Revelation 17:17 For God has put it into their hearts to fulfill His purpose, to be of one mind, and to give their kingdom to the beast, until the words of God are fulfilled.

God still holds man personally responsible for the sins they commit in every age of the earth.

This may have something to do with being given over to do evil things for sinful man.
God gives them over, to fulfill His eternal purposes.
Another concept behind this is compatibilism, God does not force man to be evil or sinful they just are.

god ? haha ! what god was that that allowed such as Hitler and all such ?

Some one gained a lot due to the creation of all such that was at Play, so they must be the gods ?

The American Revolution was a setup that helped no one in fact but for who worked to created it all in the first place. the Blacks was not the issue, but it's a good one to play out to idiots. So it was all about the Blacks one would think and nothing but the Blacks and any other reasons is taboo !

they created a new one by overthrowing and rebelling against the established government that was over the colonies. Once again if we wish to be biblical- christians have no right to participate in overthrowing a govt to establish a new one.

The issue today involves the elite trying to control every aspect of our lives. What is happening in Europe involves their economies going down this path two years before the liberal agenda started here.

This is not a demand issue. Demand is high ...The problem is with supply. China has shut downs due to Covid, that impacts every economy on the globe. Remember, China is driven by the US as well. We turned China towards Capitalism. China's population is now not 95% below poverty levels. However, their shutdowns have caused a stain across the board. Then we add on ...not a Russia problem ...but a west problem with Ukraine. The sanctions caused problems with fertilizer ....That wouldn't exist had Biden not wanted a war. Let the Russians and Ukraine sort it out. Russia in turn decided "We'll freeze out the Germans in retaliation." They are impacting Britain and others as well. The only reason gas is sliding down is a typical gasoline commodity issue. Buyers knock off that unnecessary trip. Eventually inventories climb and the price declines.

Food is the killer right now ....is spite of the gas costs ....everyone has to eat. Grain has climbed and dairy. They are trying to blame Ukraine ....We don't import Ukraine grain...Nature did damage and we are now looking at fall inventories of food ....possible shortages. Instead of giving away oil from the strategic reserves that were being sold to China .... how about knocking off some of the cost to farmers in the US. Don't depend on the government to do anything right. They'd screw up the program anyway. Fraud in the Covid give away programs ...fraud in unemployment programs in the states. Alabama sent out notices ..."you took money you didn't deserve ....we want it back."

Transportation ? Try a national Railroad strike coming to town ...Minnesota Teachers, Seattle teachers. And that fairness in pay? We are losing money because it's more expensive to live ....Got to hand it to the Biden Administration ....look over your shoulder and watch Europe carefully .. The winds of revolution are beginning to percolate ....The people want control and they do not want the elites to be the ones in power.

I hate calling them elites, as they are not, they are elitists. They are actually the worst kind of people as they want to own and control your life totally, they are tyrannical oligarchs.
Our country is run by rich tyrannical oligarchy, I don't trust the election process at all. Money spent buys political seats of power, ever wonder why is that, or is that an illusion. How many voters are this dumb. I think most of the time, elections are determined beforehand by a political cabal who cheat
I think the words elite in any field would be of the best people in their field.
