1 Timothy 6:10 - For the love of money is the root of all evil:

One doesn’t have to look much further than the money crisis in America to see that this is true. America’s economy has been built on a house of cards, and it is everyone’s fault.

The American consumers lust for the newest gadgets, at the lowest prices possible. While living well beyond their means which is evident by the housing and credit crisis.

Mortgage companies and banks lending money to people who have no business with a line of credit, and enticed some people into believing they could afford a home by offering up ARM and Sub-prime loans.

Home builders and suburbs, building more and more houses, while the old ones just sit empty.

The American corporations, in order to squeeze every last drop out of their profits have sent our manufacturing base across the boarder or overseas, meanwhile petitioning the Federal Gov’t for tax relief.

The "Church" has abandoned the word of God for a health and wellness doctrine in order to fill their pews and their collection plates.

And lastly the Gov’t encouraging the population as a whole to spend and spend and spend.
