That dynamic is both a blessing and a curse. Federal dollars, along with the energy industry in southeastern New Mexico, have fueled the state’s economy for decades. Besides Los Alamos, the state is home to Sandia National Laboratories, three Air Force bases, the Army’s White Sands Missile Range and several national forests and parks.
But critics say an inability to diversify the economy has exacerbated income disparities. They say that at a time of tight federal budgets, the state can no longer afford to stake its economic future on government spending.
What can you and I do about this? We need to pray for Godly leaders in this state, those who will recognize the ultimate authority, Almighty God, and be led by the Holy Spirit and His Word.
We don’t need anymore people to keep dressing up a pig, just people that will tell us the truth, the good and bad.
