The Congress has seceded so much of its power to the executive branch that it seems to have almost become a vestigial governmental institution. The Congress figures that if it deals with a controversial issue, such as the national debt and stopping increasing it, that a lot of their constituents will get mad at them and not reelect them. And, there is no doubt, that balancing the $3 trillion yearly deficit in the federal budget within a reasonable timeframe, such as three years, would upset just about every one of their constituents, as it would mean government spending would have to greatly restrained and more tax revenues collected.

But just because the Congress is wildly irresponsible and cowardly is no reason not to discuss the issue, as there will be HUGE ramifications if the Congress continues to be wildly irresponsible and cowardly, and the American people need to know that it would be the Congress who is responsible.

 

Meant to write, "The Congress has ceded", not "seceded".

 

Yes God has predestinated EVERYTHING. Just as God predestinated that I would eat baked skinless salmon for lunch yesterday; and God uses means, the baked salmon was not going to just appear out of nowhere; thus, the means were that I went to the store, bought the salmon, bought the lemon pepper, warmed up the oven, sprinkled the lemon pepper on the salmon, baked the salmon, placed in on a plate, and ate it using a fork.

So, yes, God predestinated that the Congress would be wildly irresponsible and cowardly and create a $34 trillion, and rapidly rising, national debt in the United States government.

God does ALL things for HIS glory. It is impossible for us mere worms to understand how EVERYTHING works out for God's glory. His elect have faith in God and trust Him for all things and in all things.

 

The Bible teaches the absolute total sovereignty of God. God is not merely some crystal ball reader.
