Barack Obama claimed that the USA is “as well-positioned today as we have been in quite some time economically”:
December 30, 2014
President Barack Obama says, as he enters the final two years of his presidency and with the economy stronger at any time since taking office in 2009, he is able to focus on what he calls “long-term projects” in domestic and foreign affairs. …“But, at the end of 2014, I could look back and say we are as well-positioned today as we have been in quite some time economically, that American leadership is more needed around the world than ever before and that is liberating in the sense that a lot of the work that we’ve done is now beginning to bear fruit,” he said.
“And, it gives me an opportunity then to start focusing on some of the other hard challenges that I didn’t always have the time or capacity to get to earlier in my presidency,” Obama added.
‘Long-term projects’
He said he now wants to focus on “long-term projects” such as making sure all Americans benefit from an improving economy.
On the international front, “even as we’re managing ISIL [Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant] and trying to roll them back and ultimately defeat them, even as we’ve been executing the draw-down in Afghanistan in a responsible way, the moves like the Cuba diplomatic initiative are ones that I want to make sure I continue to pursue partly because, frankly, it’s easier for a president to do at the end of his term than a president coming in,” Obama said. …
Obama also said, following costly conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, he wants to focus U.S. resources at home rebuilding schools, roads, basic science and research. http://www.voanews.com/content/president-obama-focused-on-long-term-projects-in-final-two-years/2578672.html
Thus far, the emergence of the Islamic State is partially a result of USA policies under the Obama Administration related to Iraq and Syria. The Taliban announced yesterday that it believes the ‘draw-down’ by the Obama Administration from Afghanistan is proof that the Taliban defeated the USA there (see Taliban claim victory over USA in Afghanistan).
As far as economic strength goes, the day Barack Obama took office, the total US Federal Debt was as follows according to the US Treasury:
Date Debt Held by the Public Intragovernmental Holdings Total Public Debt Outstanding 01/20/2009 6,307,310,739,681.66 4,319,566,309,231.42 10,626,877,048,913.08
The same source lists the following as the current debt level (12/26/14 is the latest date it lists for):
Date Debt Held by the Public Intragovernmental Holdings Total Public Debt Outstanding 12/26/2014 12,994,194,510,569.30 5,035,918,845,506.75 18,030,113,356,076.05
The deficits have gone up more under the Obama Administration than any in USA history. And the above only counts the admitted federal debt. The USA is the most indebted nation in the history of humanity. This is not a real sign of economic strength, but severe vulnerability.
The Bible teaches this will end in destruction and takeover. Here is what the NASB shows:
2Then the LORD answered me and said,
“Record the vision
And inscribe it on tablets,
That the one who reads it may run.3“For the vision is yet for the appointed time;
It hastens toward the goal and it will not fail.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
For it will certainly come, it will not delay.4“Behold, as for the proud one,
His soul is not right within him;…6“Will not all of these take up a taunt-song against him,
Even mockery and insinuations against him
And say, ‘Woe to him who increases what is not his—
For how long—
And makes himself rich with loans?’7“Will not your creditors rise up suddenly,
And those who collect from you awaken?
Indeed, you will become plunder for them.8“Because you have looted many nations,
All the remainder of the peoples will loot you—
Because of human bloodshed and violence done to the land,
To the town and all its inhabitants.(Habakkuk 2:2-4a, 6-8, New American Standard Bible).
The Book of Habakkuk is warning that in the appointed time of the end (verse 3), the power that accumulates a lot of debt (called ‘loans’ in verse 6) will face the wrath of creditors (verse 7) and be looted (verse 8). It also warns that those who read this should one day run (verse 2) because of how serious this will be.
Earlier this month, Barack Obama claimed that 2014 was a ‘breakthrough year’ and for information on that, see the post Obama says 2014 was a ‘breakthrough year’.
The Bible warns about leaders who go the wrong direction:
12 As for My people, children are their oppressors, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who lead you cause you to err, And destroy the way of your paths.” (Isaiah 3:12)
16 For the leaders of this people cause them to err, And those who are led by them are destroyed (Isaiah 9:16).
Increasing debt is NOT a sign of real strength. Increasing debt is setting the USA up for destruction.
