I don’t need to remind anyone that our current economy is in the tank and our national debt is at an unreal number and increasing with interest at a rate that makes the odds of paying it off a fairytale.  But is it our insistence on keeping our existing monetary system causing us to sink into a oblivion?  Are we in a gigantic monkey trap with our existing monetary system being the nut that we won’t let go of,  is our unwillingness to let go of that nut leading us to the death of our economy and nation?

I’m not one for conspiracy theory’s and if this is such a theory then shame on me, but so far everything checks out.  I can’t find any flaws, I can’t find any lies.  I know people come to my site for a few minutes of reading or a short video.  Basically entertainment with a Catholic wrapper.  Not everyone has time for all this but I ask you to take 10 minutes and watch the videos, if your intrigue come back and watch the next 10 minutes, and the next 10 minutes, and so on.  I’ll put permanent links up for the two videos in the right side margin and will try and leave the comments open.  As Catholics we are to search out the truth and there we will find Christ.  I believe that to be true in Faith, Theology, Science, and now it appears also to be in Economics as well.  If anyone has any additional suggested readings or videos on this subject please leave a comment and let me know.

Update: The video’s are eaching up too much bandwidth so I’m just going to provide links to them.

Update: I did some more research on fractional banking and found this next video.  If you have some time to watch it I think you’ll be amazed, its called The Money Masters. It even discusses Catholic Canon Code early on when discussing loaning money & interest.  It discusses the additional reasons for the Civil War, and then quotes a few Popes at the end the video.  Pope Leo XIII & Pope Pius XI are both quoted in the last 5 minutes of the video. Again if you can take the time its well worth it to educate yourselve more on our fractional banking system.

As someone who spent much of their 20s over extending himself by drinking, gambling, “investing”, and trip taking Dave Ramsey and his biblical approach to money was an earthly savior to my finances. I took Dave’s Total Money Makeover class in May of 2007. With the help of Dave, and my wife, I have said goodbye to credit cards and hello to cash, and my life feels a whole lot better. Dave has nothing earth shattering to say but he has a skill of making common sense, make sense. His tagline on his daily radio show is “You’ll never have financial peace until you know the Prince Of Peace”. Take a listen sometime.

In the past 50 years living with debt for the common citizen in the United States has gone from rare to the norm. Credit card companies have pushed their product on all the world and have virtually enslaved the masses. Dave pushes the bible versus Proverbs 22:7 that says “the borrower is slave to the lender” on a regular basis to get his point across. I remember in my 20′s I thought it was cool that I had more than $100,000 available to me through credit cards and I’m embarrassed to say how much I actually used. I was just as Proverbs points out “enslaved to the lender”.

Thankfully those days are over and I have seen the light. No more Credit Cards for me. No more monthly payments. No more buying today and figuring out how to pay later. I pray that others see the light and look at leading a debt free life.

Father Almighty, help us to use your money wisely. Help us to live our lives without wanting anything but your grace. May you bless us with abundance and may we share the fruits we receive from you freely with our neighbor.
