When the world went off the gold and silver standard, the financial doom of England and America was sealed.

GREETINGS,

” The loss of such power will bring any nation to weakness, for this is the media of exchange between nations. The English pound and the American dollar have been the power and beckoning light of these two great powers. But when the world went off the gold and silver standard, the financial doom of England and America was sealed. “–pg.87(TFOA)

UK govt. cuts create ‘forgotten Britain’

The British government’s plans to cut billions of pounds from public services risk creating a “forgotten Britain” with increasing inequality, warns the Association of Chief Executives of Voluntary Organizations (ACEVO).

In a speech on Thursday, Sir Stephen Bubb, head of the ACEVO charity, said charities report a hardening public attitude to poorer people, warning that the UK is becoming a country where the “haves” live increasingly separate lives to the “have nots”.
Furthermore, Bubb, who has advised the coalition government on health reforms, expressed concerns over a “growing gap between social need in this country and public resources available to spend on it”.
The charity leader also warned of a democracy deficit because central government’s decisions about cuts are made without effective scrutiny irrespective of their devastating human consequences.
According to Bubb, a study by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation found in a sample that only half of local authorities have adopted “protecting the needs of the most vulnerable clients or communities” as a key priority.
“There is a brutal logic at play: if you remove billions from public services and do not reform them, the people who rely on them suffer. As one [charity leader] said to me, ‘spending less is not necessarily a disaster. But spending less and trying to do things the same way is,” he added.
