12 Signs of Economic Collapse in America

While we spending $billions to find out why some Muslims blew up Boston and finding out there is NO WAY to keep every American "safe" (whatever that means)....the real collapse has already started in America.

Here are 12 signs that something is seriously wrong;

Many of our nations largest cities are rotting from the inside out. Blogger, Michael Snyder of the site, “The Economic Collapse” has been one of the best online trackers of the social and economic decline of urban America. Here are twelve examples he sited from a much longer list:

1. According to The New York Times there are now approximately 70,000 abandoned buildings in Detroit.

2. Back during the housing bubble, an acre of land in downtown Phoenix, Arizona sold for about $90 a square foot. Today, an acre in downtown Phoenix sells for about $9 a square foot.

 

3. The number of murders in Chicago last year was roughly equivalent to the number of murders in the entire country of Japan during 2012.

4. The city of Baltimore is already facing unfunded liabilities of more than 3.2 billion dollars, but the city government continues to pile up more debt as if it was going out of style.

USA Today, the “share of jobs located in or near a downtown declined in 91 of the nation's 100 largest metropolitan areas” between 2000 and 2010.

6. There are more than 85,000 streetlights in Detroit, but thieves have stripped so much copper wiring out of the lights that more than half of them are not working.

7. It has been estimated that there are more than 1,000 homeless people living in the massive network of flood tunnels under the city of Las Vegas.

 

8. If you can believe it, more than 11,000 homes, cars and businesses were burglarized in Oakland during 2012. That breaks down to approximately 33 burglaries a day.

 

9. The murder rate in Flint, Michigan is higher than the murder rate in Baghdad.

10. If New Orleans were considered to be a separate nation, it would have the second highest murder rate on the entire planet.

11. According to the Justice Department’s, National Drug Intelligence Center, Mexican drug cartels were actively operating in 50 different U.S. cities in 2006. By 2010, that number had skyrocketed to 1,286.

 

12. Back in 2007, the number of New York City residents on food stamps was about one million. It is now being projected that the number of New York City residents on food stamps will pass the two million mark this summer.

 

NOW PAY ATTENTION TO THIS PARAGRAPH:

 

The key problem with Detroit and other cities is a collapse in the moral fabric of our nation. The welfare state has enslaved a huge portion of our population into a life of dependency. The number of Americans on food stamps and disability has climbed steadily over the past several years. We now have over a 100 million Americans enrolled in at least one welfare program run by the federal government.

Yes...a collapse of our moral fabric.  Is that easy to fix?  No.

 

Where do we get our morals from anyway?

 

God.

 

How did he tell them to us?

 

The Bible.

 

What happens when the vast majority of Americans no longer fear God and don't believe the Bible is the Word of God?

 

We end up doing what the majority of society says will make them FEEL GOOD!

 

"In that day Israel had no king, so every man did as he saw fit."

 

At some point in the future someone will say;

 

"In that day, few in America feared God and even fewer valued His Word, so they all did whatever made them feel good....and the once great nation collapsed just like Rome, Greece, Babylon, Germany, and other one-time world powers."
