There was one who really understood the economy and the times in which he lived and he was only able to foresee and plan correctly because he could interpret the dreams of the pharaoh of Egypt. His name was Joseph and he correctly predicted seven years of feast and seven years of famine. He then managed the Egyptian economy wisely based upon his insights and Egypt grew richer during both feast and famine years (perhaps we need a Joseph as economic advisor to rise up and counsel our government). Maybe if we can’t have a Joseph then we at least need divine mercy and grace…maybe the saying on our money “in God we trust” might actually mean something to us. Perhaps one of our influential economists might actually get an answer from heaven and persuade our government on the course of action to take or not to take. Perhaps the rest of us can pray “God please be merciful and help us in America to be a blessing as You bless us.”
