Beyond Belief

On and on it goes; around and around we all go.

• Big finance bailout.
• See what you can get for a Senate seat.
• Bernie Madoff collapses under the greatest pyramid scheme in history.
• The Fed drops the interest rate to almost nothing hoping to get more people to spend.

It's more than a simple lay person's mind can grasp. Numbers going off the charts into the realms of the ludicrous far beyond all my earnings in 40 years.

Until that word comes back-

greed.

"You cannot serve God and money," said Jesus. But we sure would like to try. Or at least look like we are trying. The result is the worst economic mess since the Depression. Back in the days when people had to learn the hard way how to scrimp and save.

Maybe, just maybe we can re-learn that lesson for a new generation (or two or three) that have never had to do that before.
