I try to limit my posts on political and social issues. I think the following quote from Wampum is worth pondering.
“US Aid promised for tsunami disaster relief: $15,000,000.00
Cost of US war operations in Iraq, per day: $177,000,000.00”

By the way, the US guarantees free medical and education for the people of Iraq. I guess we aren’t important enough for that (unless they find oil in your backyard). Well, I guess since the US is pulverizing most of the towns there, it is the least we could do. Have they caught Osama yet?
If you believe that the US won’t spend hundreds of millions on the rebuilding of the disaster areas, you are nuts. As a nation, the US tends to throw money around for those in need outside the borders much more liberally than for those truly in need within.
It’s amazing how we can come up with that much money to rebuild a country that we bombed the hell out of and can’t give affordable medical care and a free college education to all of our citizens. I’m all for the funds sent to countries to aid in diasters however.
How’s your week going?
Things like that make me very ANGRY!
