Why the country is in financial distress...

<quote>"I have never slept here before to save a few bucks, but with the economy so bad I thought that even a few dollars helps," said Analita Garcia of Falls Church, Va., who arrived at a local Best Buy store at 7 a.m. Thursday with 10 family members. She bought a 32-inch LCD TV for $400, slashed from $500, along with an iPod and several DVDs.</quote>
 
Hmm, so you need to save money, yet you need an LCD TV and and iPod and DVDs.... Even if you were getting them for your children, how does this show them any sort of fiscal responsibility?
 
Maybe I'm just mad because I paid $999 for my 32 inch TV 2 summers ago...

Father Corapi on the election
Monday, November 10, 2008

The American people have now made it abundantly clear who they want to lead them, and the policies and practices that this president- elect has represented for some time, they can now claim as their own. Actions have consequences, and I am sure God has duly noted what our priorities are in the US of A. Economic matters would seem to take precedence over moral matters; money more important than life itself to most people (I guess they don't consider almost 50,000,000 innocent children murdered by abortion part of life). Now we shall see what the fruit of such a tree will be. I predict that we won't have to wait long. In recent months we have seen "corrections" in the stock market, housing market, and banking industries. Now we'll see if God orchestrates a "correction" in a country and a world that has demonstrated quite clearly that it prefers convenience and wealth to life itself. Regardless of whatever happens next, remember there is still a God in Heaven and He loves you. He is infinitely merciful—and He is infinitely just as well.

God Bless You
Fr. John Corapi
