Yeah, the irony, I don’t get with this man. His comments had a fundamental truth as to Africa. But, hello, they are just as applicable here! Does he not view our gargantuan welfare state, that has produced GENERATIONAL POVERTY, as “food aid” and more?

Is the U.S. government facilitating its own citizens to “learn to fish” for their supper rather than stand around with their hand out — year after year, generation after generation?

And is it not for the same reasons that politicians are afraid to cut “food aid” to U.S. citizens — because they will then think about becoming uppity and leaving the plantation?

There is nothing that is wrong with foreign aid to Africa that is not equally wrong with permanent U.S. welfare handouts.
