One of the more interesting observations that I’ve made over the past couple of weeks is the “urgency” that the new administration is imposing upon the “economic stimulus package.”
Anytime someone presents me with a financial request and needs an immediate answer I am automatically prone to be somewhat skeptical. One of the axioms that I have developed over the years is that “due diligence” is essential when it comes to operating with other people’s money. (And that’s in fact what the government is doing!)
Although there are many good things that have been suggested, the idea of rushing in the first couple of weeks to spend a trillion dollars without adequate due diligence is not one of them.
If this is something that is essential to the well-being of our country and the future economic stability that we all desire, it will stand up to the test of a few more weeks of investigation.
At a personal level, I think the same things are true and have learned through error as well as occasional moments of insight that being in a hurry about such things is not a good idea!
Let’s pray for our leaders and those in authority over us as they need the wisdom of God in such difficult times.
Blessings!
