Wachovia bank had a slogan a few years back called "Uncommon Wisdom." They argued that when it came to handling your money, they possessed uncommon wisdom. That can be argued, but here is something that cannot from the book of Deuteronomy.
"For the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none." Deuteronomy 15:6
What was good wisdom in Moses' day is good wisdom for the US OF A. We should not borrow from other nations...period. However, compare this verse with the following quote from our president-elect:
"We're already looking at a trillion-dollar budget deficit or close to a trillion-dollar budget deficit, and that potentially we've got trillion-dollar deficits for years to come, even with the economic recovery that we are working on at this point," Obama said.
Trillion-dollar defecits for years to come? Why? When a single party controls the house, senate and the White House, what's stopping them from balancing the budget right now? An unwillingness to face the music is what. The republican party, of course, was just as wrong when they controlled virtually all of Washington but refused to give us a balanced budget either.
The bottom line is both parties need to sit down with open Bibles and learn the real uncommon wisdom from God's Word.
