Matthew 25:46 "And these shall go away into everlasting punishment:

Matthew 25:41 "Depart from Me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire,

2 Thessalonians 1:8-9 "Them that know not God, and that obey not the

Revelation 20:15 warns "And whosoever was not found written in the
book of life was cast into the lake of fire."

Re: Depressed as a Nation? 80 Percent of Americans Believe That We Are in a Recession Right Now

Back in the seventies when I experienced some unemployment, I
discovered that a recession is when other people lose their jobs.
When I lose my job, now that is Depressing, and when I run out of
pogey... now that is a major Depression. Perhaps if those who caused
the financial problems were to be fired... with severance proportional
to the success or failure of their company...

> Depressed as a Nation? 80 Percent of Americans Believe That We Are in a Recession Right NowAccording to a brand new Gallup poll,80 percentof Americans believe that we are in a recession right now. Of course the government insists that the recession ended quite some time ago, but apparently the message is not sinking in. Not only that, most Americans also do not believe that things are going to get better any time soon. According to the Gallup poll,61 percentof Americans believe that the economy will be the same as it is right now or will be even worse one year from now. Two years ago, only 35 percent of Americans felt that way. Talk about pessimism! So are we depressed as a nation? Have too many people been reading theEconomic Collapse Blog? How do we account for such strange numbers?
> Certainly there are some areas of the country that are still doing quite well. If you live in an area that is closely tied to the federal government (Washington D.C.), the big Wall Street banks (New York) or corporate America (Silicon Valley, etc.), then you can go out on the weekends and find packed restaurants and mall parking lots that are overflowing.
> But most of the rest of the country is really hurting.
> Tonight, there are millions upon millions of Americans that won't sleep well at all because they are trying to figure out how to get back on their feet. It can be really tough to keep going when you have been searching for work for years and still nobody will hire you. If you have a family, it is easy to feel like a failure when you have to look your spouse and your children in the eyes day after day knowing that they are depending on you.
> If you have never been through it, then you should not mock those that are depressed because they cannot find work. Losing a good job and not being able to find another one can be an absolutely soul-crushing experience.

> For example, a reader identified as Carol recently shared the following with us....My unemployment ends the end of December, yes, I will be one of the 99?ers, one that did not sit at home and eat potato chips, drink soda and watch TV.

But I have continued to pursue work and regain employment, despite my health. I have no other choice but to fight and PRAY!It amazes me at the stupidity of the general population, who still have their heads in the sand. The majority have no idea what is actually going on in our country on the political or economic side.What would you do if you found out you were sick, you had no job, no health insurance and you were rapidly running out of money?
> Please pray for those that are out of work. You never know when it will be you that needs some assistance.
> For those that still believe that the economy is doing "great", let's review some of the cold, hard facts....46.2 millionAmericans were living in poverty in 2010.The number of Americansliving in povertyincreased by 2.6 million last year. That was thelargest increasesince the U.S. government began keeping statistics on this back in 1959.14 millionAmericans are officially unemployed.6 millionAmericans have been unemployed for at least half a year.8.8 millionAmericans are working part-time because they cannot find full-time jobs.Only63.5 percentof all men in the United States had a job during the month of July.Zero jobswere created in the United States during the month of August.Median household income has fallenfor three years in a row.49.9 millionAmericans do not have any health insurance at all.The percentage of Americans covered by employer-based health plans has fallenfor 11 years in a row.More than45 millionAmericans (a new all-time record) are on food stamps.

I hear through the grapevine that quality there has gone completely off a cliff, but profits are OK.Have had only sporadic benefitless contract work ever since, and am now down to my last few bucks.All of the horrible natural disasters that we have experienced this year are not helping things either. As I have written about previously, in many ways this has beenthe worst year for natural disastersin modern U.S. history.
> In arecent article for Newsday, Jennifer Wheary described the impact these horrible natural disasters have had on many areas of the country that were already facing tough economic times....But after decades of disappearing jobs, declining wages and increasing expenses, this is no longer the case. As a result, people across New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Vermont, Maryland, the Carolinas, Texas and elsewhere lack the savings needed to weather these unexpected economic shocks. Well before the spate of recent bad weather, or the recent recession, millions of middle- and working-class families were already under water.Right now, even the vast majority of American families that still do have jobs are barely scraping by. At this point, "financial security" is just a far off dream for most Americans.
> So what are our leaders doing about this?
> Well, as I have written about previously,the Obama jobs planis a complete joke. It is really quite sad if that was his best shot. His plan would spend a lot of money, but just like the last "stimulus plan", it would not create many jobs at all.

The Federal Reservehas just announcedthat it is going to sell $400 billion of its short-term U.S. Treasuries and will use that money to buy $400 billion of long-term U.S. Treasuries. The Fed is hoping that this will lower interest rates on mortgages and home loans and will help to spur the economy.

Re: True free market Capitalism evil

Free market capitalism died a long time ago... probably during the
Teddy Roosevelt years... Some of the trusts of at the beginning of the
20th century hated capitalism as much as they hated the communists...
so while everyone else was focused of the Russians, they allowed their
cronies free access to the nations cash drawers...If they got their
fingers caught, they just got their buddies in Washington to change
the laws.... These are the type of people who when caught speeding,
would blame the police... That is how the bankers of America have
pulled off the greatest robbery in the history of money. And they
still expect us to trust them????
