GOD KNOWS
Thought for critical
thinking discussion in the light of God’s Word: The USA is a mixed economy, an
olio of classical liberalism (free markets) and bureaucratic socialism. In our
nations early times it was primarily the former, then through man-centered
democracy things changed
A core change was/is
the shift to bureaucracies established to decide and manage public “needs”. So
now we have government heavily weighed by socialism.
In Epoch Times, July
27-Aug.2, Mark Hendrickson stated “… in a typical year, more than 90% of the
rules that Americans must live by (or else be fined or otherwise punished) are
promulgated by bureaucrats rather than enacted by legislators.”
Furthermore: According
to the Competitive Enterprise Institute’s Clyde Wayne Crews, in 2020, Congress
passed 178 laws, while executive branch unelected bureaucrats issued 3,353
binding rules. That’s a 19 to 1 ratio favoring socialistic governing.
“If you want to put a
dollar figure on the cost of bureaucratism in the United States, economists
John Dawson and John Seater calculated the 2011 gross [national] product of
$15.1 trillion could have been $53.9 trillion – 3 ½ times greater -- if federal
regulations had remained at their 1949 level.”
If at all, how do you think this relates to Scripture? If so, how?
