I feel as though the old saying will be true for the US, starting next year: "The cure is worse than the disease". As an example -

A son and his wife have maxed out their credit cards, and they are behind on the payments for that big, new SUV with the attached bass boat. Their mortgage payments are past due as well. Finally, the father steps in to guide them and get them back aright. It is clear, the spending has to be cut way back.

Think of what that will REQURE as a nation, with our huge national debt and continual deficit spending. It is of no help seeking to lay the blame on others, the need is to fix the extravagant spending of money we don't have. It may even require cuts to those of us like myself on a fixed income. Can we take our medicine?

If we take the bad tasting medicine, does that mean the GOP will enjoy only the coming 4 years and then be booted out of office? Are we, the American people mature enough to do what is needed to get this nation on its feet again, no matter how much it hurts? It does seem that a President Trump is the only one who may have the economic knowhow to lead us.

I hate to say it but I believe the US is doomed; it's too late. That's why I encourage people to invest more in the kingdom and the gospel and less in politics. It's only going downhill from here. The liberals have handed the country over to every fruit and nut they can find. The MAGA crowd can't "make America great again." That just a delusional pipe dream they keep holding on to and gullible voters believe. We were warned these days would come.

Trust in God.
His teaching is to pray for our nation and stand with Israel.
When Gods Trump is sounded; pay attention.
All shall be revealed.

Glory to God,
Taken

I will not be hard to get the country back in shape. Trump will cut all the red tape for businesses and cut taxes, again, that Biden got rid of when he took office. Close the border up and let brainy people in. Deport and prosecute to the max criminals on the street. Etc, etc, etc.

BidenObama has given us and the world a bed of thorns for nearly 4 years.
To be expected when the election was stolen first so to make that possible.

Given that, I'll wax optimistic that Trump can do far better.

I saw a tea rose blossom after breaking through a crack in the sidewalk.

Did the tea rose will to reach the sun weaken that part of an otherwise solid half mile slab of cement?

Or was that tiny part of the two inch slab weak from the start? And the tea rose simply a seed that acted as an opportunist?

We shall never know. However, for a brief time a gorgeous multicolored tea rose reached for the sun and blossomed in all her glory.
Until humans tread it underfoot and crushed its life away.

Because it's a sidewalk. Not a garden for tea roses?

I doesn't help that Joe Biden is canceling billions of dollars in student debt, adding to our inflation, or requiring taxes be raised significantly, or both. (I don't think Republicans will raise taxes while Donald is president.)

I don't think a President cancelled federal debt.. It is congress that controls the money, including spending. I believe that to cancel the student debt, would have to go through congress. Therefore, Biden is blowing smoke again.

Apparently Biden can cancel student debt for people in departments that he controls. If you've read the news, you've heard he has canceled a lot of student debt, or at least, that is what he has declared.

If a nation refuses to abide by God's word, and if the church in the nation does not experience a true Holy Spirit revival, I'm inclined to agree.... the USA and the west are gone, lost! A society cannot continue to reverse the order of rule and leadership in family and society set by God and think they can survive. NOWHERE in scripture are people told to choose or vote for a woman to rule or be a leader!

New Living Translation, 2015 copyright
(A Dynamic Equivalence Translation)

Gen. 3:16 "Then he said to the woman,

“I will sharpen the pain of your pregnancy,
and in pain you will give birth.
And you will desire to control your husband,
but he will rule over you
.”

Isa 3:11 "But the wicked are doomed,
for they will get exactly what they deserve.

12 Childish leaders oppress my people,
and women rule over them.
O my people, your leaders mislead you;
they send you down the wrong road.

13 The Lord takes his place in court
and presents his case against his people."

The Supreme Court ruled that the President has no authority to forgive debt.

That is what the Supreme Court ruled, but Joe defies the Supreme Court by looking for ways around their decision, like canceling the debt for people in government departments that he has authority over.
