Now before I ruffle anyone's feathers, I do want you to know that I support helping others in times of need, and believe that we as individuals have a responsibility to do that. We can reach out to help. If there is a greater cause that needs more attention than what one or two individuals can effectively contribute to, there are organizations set up that we can use to donate our money and time.
That being said... I'm not to happy with I've read in the news today. According to this news article, our government is going to give $1.15B to Haiti!
Our government, which cant even control it's own spending, that is in need of help itself, will be promising a huge amount of money. And yet, the government tells us that we have no money for other things, that's why we need to raise taxes don't you know!
ARG!!!!
Not to sound rude or unsympathetic, but haven't we done quite a bit for Haiti already? Hasn't the Red Cross and other organizations been helping? Why does our government think we ought to spend money we don't have?
Hmmmmmm......
