£...Total UK debt 8 trillion or around 500% of GDP!<br /><br />£130K for every person in the UK (Roughly £350K per worker)<br /><br />Tell me how we can get out of this without inflation.<br /><br />Worth reading but probably most people will have seen this sort of thing before.<br /><br />http://www.infowars.com/quantitative-easing-did-not-work-for-the-weimar-republic-either/<br /><br />Back to the question<br /><br />How can we protect ourselves?<br /><br />Many people have all their monetary eggs in one basket. (i.e. their job or pension). One way forward is to look into creating multiple income streams rather than relying on one bigger one. Easier said than done, but 5 small streams are far better than one. For pensioners this is difficult but not always impossible.<br /><br />The church should I believe look into ways now of supporting members and where possible extending this into the wider society.<br /><br />If things pan out as they did in the past the Government will not be able to cope. Look at what is happening in Greece. (And they are still getting large chunks of cash from Germany.)<br /><br />As Christians I think it is an excellent opportunity to be clear on how we got into this mess. The encouragement of greed, the deliberate weakening of the family, the absence of virtue, the encouragement of moral behaviour that undermines family structures and of course a culture that does not take personal responsibility for anything. The Bible tells us how we can live a good life and enjoy the fruits of his world. When we take the other path, we should not be too surprised when it all ends in tears.<br /><br />PhilPhil Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151392742310244391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9031852996869768738.post-65515489465021712302013-01-30T18:29:04.826+01:002013-01-30T18:29:04.826+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.Phil Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09151392742310244391noreply@blogger.com
