We're stingy?????
What the hell. The United Nations is calling the US response to the recent Tsunami in southeast Asia "stingy". Some are even implying that the US stood by and let this happen.
What the Hell!!!! The world continues it's slide into madness.
FIRST!!!! The US has already pledged 15 million. The EU has pledged 4 million. And we're the stingy ones? Lets remember here, that it's more a European tourist mecca than a US one. We've already ponied up 15 mill, and it's just Monday. More is surely to come from both the public and private sectors of the US.
Give me a break Kofi, don't you have enough to worry about with genocide in Africa, you don't need to be trying to extort more money from us when the entire scope of the event isn't even known.
Besides 15 million vs. 4 million. Who's the stingy ones?
More will surely develop on this one.
UPDATE: A few treasury department people have sent letters to the UN pointing out that the US accounted for 40% of ALL foreign aid worldwide. The US has upped their aid assistance for the tsunami victims to 35 million.
2ND UPDATE: US Government aid up to 350 million. The American Red Cross has collected over 18 million and Amazon.com has collected 8.7 million.
