There is a popular fairy tale where an Emperor hires a couple of tailors to make him a very special suit of clothes. The tailors claim that the clothes cannot be seenTHe Harbinger by anyone who is unfit for his position or is stupid or incompetent. Finally, as he parades in front of his subjects, a little girls exclaims, “The Emperor has no clothes!”

I think we are at the same position in our country. No one wants to admit it, but we are completely broke as a nation and no man can fix it. I don’t think anyone is even trying to fix it.

The problem is that the Democrats want to spend more money on social programs and the Republicans want to spend more money on the military. The truth is, we can’t afford either, but their solution is to try to fund both!

No one who admits what our real problem is and plans to try to fix it can get elected. Ron Paul and Rand to a lessor extent were the only one’s to admit what the problem was and they couldn’t get elected.

If someone does try to call attention to the problem, they are labeled as crazy or radical. As a nation, we are hooked on debt and no one wants to even try to get free of this addiction.

If we were from a different planet and were unattached to the outcome, I think most of us would admit that this system is unsustainable and is going to crash. Most people are so emotionally attached to our lives in this country that we cannot admit to what is so obvious.

The truth is, the addiction to debt will kill us as a nation as we know it today. The very best outcome is a drastic reduction in living standards and loss of freedoms. I fear it could be worse than that.

There are very few people saying the Emperor has no clothes and hardly anyone is listening to them. I am not afraid to admit that the Emperor has no clothes, I just wonder if anyone will listen.
