The markets slipped another 300 points yesterday, more bombs killed Americans in Afghanistan, and the House last night reaffirmed our “national motto” — In God We Trust.
The debate reportedly was quite rich, such as this soliloquy by an Arizona Republican: “Is God God? Or is man God? In God do we trust, or in man do we trust? … If there isn’t [a God], we should just let anarchy prevail because, after all, we are just worm food. So indeed we have the time to reaffirm that God is God and in God do we trust.”
The “motto” is already guaranteed by an Act of Congress in 1956 and was reaffirmed in a Resolution in 2002.
Do they know something we don’t? Is this our nation’s most important business?
