I really enjoyed Dave's take on a bottom-up approach to fixing the economy. I think he's right, and I think it's time for everyone to get involved fixing their personal economy, to fix their local economy, to fix their state economy, to fix their regional economy, to cure our country. I definitely live in the boundaries of one of the poorer parishes, and I feel like I have to talk to Father about getting an FPU class going.
If you didn't have time to watch it last night, try to find an hour to watch a replay of the live event here -- do it! Get off the fear train and regain real hope for the future. Dave talks about a biblical approach to managing money, and while of course it lends itself to using his program, he says start by reading Proverbs because of all the timeless money wisdom. One really cool thing I enjoyed about the talk was thinking about the repercussions of an entire community standing together and getting their finances in order. He said all predatory lending would cease without legislation, but by virtue of education of the lower class they prey upon. He said it would bring back the middle class, which is the most common way to pass into the upper class. America one thrived because of the large middle class. He talks about when it became government's "job" to create jobs with trickle down Keynesian economics..... maybe most people didn't enjoy econ as much as me, but he didn't go deep into the history, just enough to show this isn't how our country was founded! He didn't go politial, but it was very, very Bible based and Church community centered.
Don't be afraid to talk about it! MONEY has 5 letters not 4, it's okay!!!
The Great Recovery is underway! Hop on now! I love my family. I love America. And I want a bright future for both!
