If you subscribe to the theory that “it takes a village” to raise a child, what does it take to support him? As the U.S. dollar and other currencies around the world are losing value at this time I would propose that it is very likely that it would take the world to do so. Put another way, as global currencies hold different values and some can buy more than others, having a stream of international currencies coming your way offers a degree of protection and makes it a little easier to survive over the long haul.

This is an example where putting all your eggs (currencies) in one basket does work. I am involved in a business where I make money from Europe, Asia, Latin America and the U.S. Of course I receive money in dollars because I live in the U.S. but if I should decide to open another duplicate business in Germany, for example, I would be paid in German Marks. In this way I can protect my earnings and have more opportunities.

I decided long ago that I didn’t want a bunch of village idiots raising my children. Where extended family (of my choice) can be helpful I think Mom and Dad do a much better job of it. Also, within the village are bad television programs, schools that are bereft of morals or decency and computer games that make violence into something wonderful. These make it hare enough to raise our children properly and only add to the difficulty of supporting them financially.

The spiraling jobless rate and the exodus of companies from our communities to low-wage states with lower taxes place families and children in financial jeopardy. The good news is that those families can still raise the kids “correctly” if they take the responsibility to do so. By reclaiming your power of moms and dads you can reclaim your children from the clutches of public schools by sitting down at the table and having dinner together to talk about whatever is important to you. You can be a powerful influence on the kids by controlling what they watch on T.V. If you preview the so-called lyrics of the music they listen to, you can give guidance. As to video games be extremely judicious in what you allow.

Let us return to finance for a moment. Hopefully you still have a job and are getting by ok. Your paycheck is always redeemed in weak, devaluing dollars and your income stream is limited to that of your boss. Washington is printing those devalued dollars faster than a hundred battalions of drunken sailors could spend them. Because of this, other nations and big multinational companies want to be paid in stronger currencies. In fact, a few countries are floating the idea that a substitute currency be used for trade.

You should also be aware that if you lose your job your replacement can and probably will be hired for less money than you currently earn. Why? Because of the simple law of supply and demand. Too few jobs with too many folks willing to work for less. It’s also apparent that unions can no longer protect jobs, either. One huge aircraft company recently decided to take a new manufacturing division out of Washington to another state where they can hire non-union employees at nearly half the wages. I could go on and on.

These are the realities of today’s society and economy. As parents you can stand up to the wrongs of society where it negatively affects your family. Fortunately, as breadwinners you can make the same kind of decision I made to protect and increase my income. Opportunities abound even in the toughest times. My final thoughts are these:

Do not think that the government can save you from what is happening in our economy. They are the primary cause of all the problems.

Understand the realities of being an employee in a shaky business world. You can be replaced in a New York minute.

Now, take a deep breath and rediscover that spirit and inner strength that the pioneers depended on when they founded this great country.

Remember that you are an American. It is your heritage and right to find that heroism within yourself. it is time to put fear aside and instead to place everything on the line for the sake of your family, your community and your country.
