This is all I am going to post on this subject, but in my opinion and given the circumstances I feel it needs to be said.
Our initial request from congress to go bomb Iraq was 79 billion (thats billion)and it’s gone much higher since then.
A local Church in my area spent $120 million to build a church building
Our initial offer to help the poor people of the south pacific that have suffered from one of the worst world calamities I have ever seen was a whopping 15 million and that has recently been pushed up to 35 million. I hope I read wrong or something.
Thats million not billion
In other words we spend more money on church building and killing than we are willing to on human suffering. I am still holding out hope that we will right this, but initially our values could use alot of work.
Spain offered 68 million
Germany 27 million
Australia 7.6 million
We are the richest country and claim to be one of the most moral. No one needs to give more money or man power than we do.
I am not trying to be a downer here. I want to see my country and it’s people do whatever is within our power to help these people.
Call your congressman and give what you can afford. I hear it’s not food they need over there it’s clothing, medicine and pain killlers.
Take care
