Shock Therapy?

Globalization fundamentalism? Economic Shock Therapy? Disaster Economics? Privatization? Corporal Growth?

  • Outsourcing? Blackwater? 15% flat tax? Privatization even of "Social Security"? Milton Freedman, in a 1975 letter, was the first to use the phrase "Economic shock therapy". Was he right? Crisis shocks like the sunomi, 9-11, illegals, Katrina & Iraq springboard facilitating an "economic fundamentalist" new world? Crisis, whether natural disaster or terrorism, is only the first "shock" of economic shock therapy. A second shock is the oppertunistic radical advance of corporations and "globablization" in responce to the tragedy. A third shock is governmental enforcement of a new economic reality. The big rise of security survailance? Now the growing snowball of a $200 Billion dollar industry created for "Homeland Security"? With the empowerment of corporations, to intrude into all aspects of our lives, is the only acceptable role for government to protect private property? Even the war in Iraq is privatized to employing mercinary "contractors"!

    What you are describing my friend is what the Bible talks about will happen in the last days, and YES, we are here now already Its not soething to start later, its here folks. But,tho we may see it and feel a bit of concern, we dont have to worry about any of it, as it is so very very temporary, all of it. Jesus wil come soon, and we that are truy His wont stay here to go thru the rest of it that God describes as the GREAT TRIBULATION. The nation hasnt seen anything, nor the other nations. THis is all because most ppl have turned their backs on God. He is now only going to protect those that are truy His, in love and obedience to His word. PPl need to run to Jesus now, and ask Him into their heart, and allow Him to show them how to get thru these last days, til Jesus comes. Do we want to be left behind and suffer the great tribulation? Its a choice. Or we can choose to go home in the rapture, which is soon, and miss out on all that horror. ITs all choice. WE must choose for Jesus before we die or He comes again, and we must choose to obey Gods word, its not an option to believe and then ignore His word. GOD FORBID. But, Jesus is coming soon. Not only do we get the prize of Heaven when we are Gods, belonging to Jesus Christ, but we get love , joy , peace, and living in His kingdom right here and now as we wait, by being GOds. Run to Jesus today, those who dont yet know Him. He is coming soon ONce youa re Gods, you dont even have to worry about this stuff. HE will take care of it all, and all sin will end at one point, because of God. He calls us out of sin now too, so that we will be in the place wehre there is no sin, and none of this stuff you just described. Is it all real? YEP. But, its not a forever thing. Get in the word of God and see. ITs so sweet to trust in Jesus, and then you trust Him more and more. Yes and Amen. Hallelujah. God bless you for the question. Sister SHirley

I appreciate the wide variety of interests that you have, m'dear... but not ALL IN ONE "QUESTION"!!! GEESH!!! How can you POSSIBLY expect ANYONE to answer ALL those questions in "one" answer? Is there some kind of "unified theory" that we're missing here? Frankly, there's so many question marks, it's hard to keep everything straight. Are you actually asking only one question here? I DO see an actual question... "Was he right?" ... and possibly, but poorly worded question re: corporate empowerment. Anything in the "additional details" is lost to me right now, because YA never displays the Additional Details when we're answering a question. Otherwise, all the other question marks can, and should, be replaced with good ol' plain periods. And in so doing, this makes your "question" more of what YA might consider a rant or a non-question. So what are we doing here? I just don't get the gist of the "question." As for Milton Friedman, he was an extremely intelligent economist who was right in many of his views... afterall, he did win the Nobel Prize for Economics. But you throw out the term without defining it. How do you expect us to know what "Economic Shock Therapy" is in order to comment on whether he was right or not? Have a "profitable" day.
