One of the problems with America is for the most they are spoiled. They have to have everything handed to them on a silver platter. I have lost my job before, and I have been laid-off and no politician or news broadcaster cared. I had to pull up my boot straps and hustle to make ends meet. I did not care what the job was I did. I worked hard and long hours, and I make more money in doing so and I did it without a bailout or stimulus check.

I have never received a stimulus check, yet the government of the United States believes this is the way to stimulate the economy. If you receive a stimulus check you better put it up, for I believe the hard times are coming. I know that is not what they want you to do but if things don’t turn around you will be in a little better position.

The United States government has for sometimes cause or made it convenience for the public and corporation to be depended on government. If it is not corporate welfare it is public welfare. Big corporations flying in on their corporate jet to ask for a bailout and without even a plan for reconstruction. Listen, that is just how confident they felt about getting a bailout.

Americans, for some reason, and perhaps it is because of Hollywood, desire and want that which they cannot afford, and they want everything now. You build homes without alternative methods for providing heat for your families. I have asked the question before why did you build your house with a fireplace with the capability to cook on it as well. Answer, “I don’t know”.

American have been programed and shaped just the way government and society want them to be. A nearly $820 billion stimulus package passed, which will cause more people to be addicted, more dependent on government handouts. And why not, when the government as it appears to some in America, are stealing from the taxpayers, just look at what is in the stimulus package. The American people are given a few dollars and some act like a junkie getting a fix. While the people who claim to be representatives are ripping the American people off. Billions of dollars goes in Iraq and for the damage left by hurricane Katrina. Nevertheless, how much of that money can be accounted for?

American people have been shaped into a mold that is causing them to be handicap. Some do not know how to live on less, refuse to live on less. Some are dependent on everything that society have shaped them into. People in America refuse to be a pro-consumers and do not want to go back to live off the land like their forefathers did one century ago. A false sense of prosperity is like a lit fuse on a bomb sooner or later it will blow because some fuses are longer than others.

Now we need to also included in all of that those who are here illegally, who are taking advantage of all of our handouts as well. So you can see the road on which we are on. There are people overseas living off of less than a dollar a day, and remember our forefathers did as well.

Covetousness is without a doubt the biggest sin in the United States today.  Carefully notice that Colossians 3:5 calls covetousness idolatry.  We read in Philippians 3:18-19, “For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.”  Most Americans have become their own god. Again, we are spoiled!  America in particular has been spoiled rotten, to where people have no appreciation whatsoever anymore.

  Jesus healed the 10 lepers, but only one returned to say thank you (Luke 17:15-17).  Woe unto America!  Americans don’t trust in God–we trust in greed and goods!  The sin of covetousness is overtaking them. We have become a land of lust.  The love of money has led to every evil conceivable in America–pornography, gambling, prostitution, police corruption, crooked politicians, bad business, thievery, abortion, lasciviousness, etc.  1st Timothy 6:10 warns, “For the love of money is the root of all evil…”
