Caesar is taking far more than what is Caesar’s.
After projecting $7.1 trillion in deficit spending over the next 10 years — then ripping into the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) for “exaggerating costs and underestimating savings” under the Obama-led spending plan after the estimated approximately $9 trillion — White House officials have confirmed that they will revise those numbers this week, hiking the total up to (surprise, surprise) about $9 trillion.
A scary trend is developing with the current administration, which is what has prompted its inclusion on a site that avoids the partisan politics and looks, instead, at the Biblical ramifications of the underhanded dealings of the U.S. government. On more than one occassion, this president has promised one thing, delivered something entirely different, and then essentially replied with a half-hearted, “just kidding” response.
And what’s worse is that each time he does it, he costs you, me and John Q. Public more money.
Keep in mind that we are not just the citizens of America; we are America. And, if John Smith charges something on credit in John Smith’s name, the debt belongs to John Smith. So, that means that President Obama — in a few sentences that will be presented this week — has just spent $2 trillion more of our money.
Lying, deception and false witness are all essentially the same thing, and they all violate God’s ninth commandment: “You shall not give false testimony against your neighbor.” (Exodus 20:16) But we let those who run this nation do exactly that — to each other, to other nations and to us — every single day. Essentially, what our president has done in this instance, and in several others, is to deceive us by garnering support on a set of numbers that is high but, in the eyes of many, acceptable, only to turn around after receiving approval with an “oh, by the way…” in which we’re told the cost will be much greater.
I urge you to begin speaking out against your government. We are the citizens of the United States — the caretakers of this great country, given to us by our Lord to escape unrighteous tyranny and oppression. Let’s take care of it before it is too late.
