WESTTOWN, Penn., Feb. 23, 2011 /Standard Newswire/ -- Dan Celia, financial expert, national radio host and author, is personally in touch with hundreds of people representing a wide spectrum of demographics across the country, while thousands more hear his financial expertise over the airwaves.  He knows what people are concerned about and what answers they need when it comes to finances.

Dan Celia, President and CEO of Financial Issues Stewardship Ministries, has accurately forecasted some major financial events over the last three years:

• 2010 - Oil would climb to $90 a barrel and is now on its way to $150 a barrel and $4 per gallon of gas by mid-2011 if we don’t start drilling oil in America.
   
• 2008 - church giving and ministry giving would slow to alarming levels.
   
• Commodities prices increase coming as early as March 2009.
   
• 2009 - Ireland, Greece, Spain, Portugal and Italy would be the first to face a severe crisis that would impact the Euro.
   
• 2008 - government bailouts would contribute to a financial crisis and that pension problems would create massive state and federal debt warning that municipal bonds might not be the place to invest
   
• 2007 - we are losing a generation of donors and gaining a generation of Christians that know little about supporting the Church and ministries. This trend will be exacerbated if we continue to have an economic downturn.

Celia states, "These people are the heartbeat of America .  People know what is right for this country as a whole and while they are concerned about their own financial situations, the bigger picture that concerns them is that of the United States of America."

Celia also talks about the potential one-world currency that he says will not work, and that the lessons learned from the Euro should be heeded in America.  He warns that a common currency won't happen again without the beginnings of a one-world government adding the caveat that this would be fatal not only to free market economics but also to democracy as we now know it in the United States. 

Dan Celia hosts Financial Issues at 10 a.m. EST, M-F on 350 conservative Christian radio station. His program also airs weekly on Saturdays at 11 a.m. EST.
