In Panama City, Florida, I interviewed A. Avdette de la Pointe (who currently has the record for the person with the longest name we’ve interviewed in all our traveling.) Mr. de la Pointe describes himself as a common man “economy hobbyist.” He said he has been studying the economy on his own for years. Mr. de la Pointe said fiscal year 2004 figures in America indicate we amassed a 11.1 trillion dollar debt. He said that would be equivalent to a household making $50,000 in a year — and spending $300,000 in the same year. (This continues to reconfirm my assertion we need someone in D.C. with a calculator that works.) Mr. de la Pointe said the government continues to put more money in circulation to “chase more goods.” However, the big problem is that this is causing more and more inflation. And metaphorically, it’s as if we’re building the economy on a ‘house of cards’ at this point. As the inflation becomes runaway, and the common person isn’t able to buy the basics in food anymore… it can only lead to social unrest and political system failure, Mr. de la Pointe added. Note:<\/strong> The same night I interviewed Mr. de la Pointe, I gave a brief talk to a group at St. Dominic’s Church in Panama City. I said abortion is a modern day Holocaust that won’t change until churches, adoration chapels, etc., are absolutely filled with those praying for it to end. It won’t end until the papers are flooded with letters to the editor and legislators are flooded with letters, period. Protests must increase exponentially. And more comprehensive safety nets need to be built for women in crisis pregnancy. But all this takes a sustained grassroots effort by the Pro-Life masses. Yet sadly, it’s only a few of those who say they are Pro-Life who prioritize these actions on any consistent level.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
