The founder of Christian Financial Concepts, Inc., and author of "The Coming Economic Earthquake" again predicts collapse of the U.S. economy, blaming "amoral" European values, brought home by W.W.I doughboys, for generating government regulations, deficit spending, environmentalism, and the New Age movement. He advises paying off debts, diversifying investments, and praying. ( )
