Point made!!! Soon our currency will be worth little more than toilet paper! If this should prove to be true someday (God forbid) we would naturally ask the question: "Why"? The answer can be seen in these passages....
Haggai, Chapter 1 (WEB)
3 Then the Word of Yahweh came by Haggai, the prophet, saying, 4 “Is it a time for you yourselves to dwell in your paneled houses, while this house lies waste? 5 Now therefore this is what Yahweh of Armies says: Consider your ways. 6 You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don’t have enough. You drink, but you aren’t filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it.”
7 This is what Yahweh of Armies says: “Consider your ways. 8 Go up to the mountain, bring wood, and build the house. I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified,” says Yahweh. 9 “You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?” says Yahweh of Armies, “Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.

1 Corinthians, Chapter 3 (LITV)
1 And, brothers, I was not able to speak to you as to spiritual ones, but as to fleshly ones, as to babes in Christ. 2 I gave you milk to drink, and not food, for you were not then able, but neither now are you yet able. 3 For you are yet fleshly. For where among you isjealousy, and strife, and divisions, are you not fleshly and walk according to man? 4 For when one may say, Truly I am of Paul, and another, I of Apollos; are you not fleshly?
5 What then is Paul? And what Apollos, but ministers through whom you believed, and to each as the Lord gave? 6 I planted, Apollos watered, but God made to grow. 7 So as neither he planting is anything, nor he watering, but God making to grow. 8 So he planting and he watering are one, and each one will receive his own reward according to his own labor. 9 For we are fellow workers of God, a field of God, and you are a building of God. 10 According to God's grace given to me, as a wise master builder, I laid a foundation, but another builds on it . But let each one be careful how he builds.

That America is failing is evident. Twenty three million Americans are without work or underemployed. Some politicians say we are better off that we were 4 years ago. They lie!!! Yes, the problem is with our current leadership, but the problem goes deeper than that. Christians are taking God for granted; they are allowing the godless to do things that are contrary to virtually ANY standard of Christianity. We can print all the money we want, make up any programs we can dream of, but, if we don't change, don't look to following God and build up HIS house (that is, ourselves) then we will fall. I hope that all who read this will understand that sin destroys a nation and righteousness builds it up. This is a nationwide and a church and a personal concept. Repent of sin and really change; before its too late. Individually, start today, collectively, start today and nationally, start the change in November!!! Please; before the country is worth nothing!!! It would break my heart to see America flushed down the toilet along with its worthless paper!!!!
