The average GNI for Africa is less than $1,000. Compare that to the Middle East and, without oil, one finds the same. Moreover, with oil hovering well over $50 per barrel, one would think the Middle East would use its cash wisely. One would be wrong. Things WILL get far worse in Africa and the Middle East before they get better.

The Republican response would be to change the system, for the betterment of humanity.

The Democratic response would be to give money to the current system, without change, and feel good doing so.

Maybe 500 more years of suffering and Africa and the Middle East will be prepared for the Republican response.

Democrats realize that they have reached the limits in domestic welfare/serf state production. In order to grow the party and provide more employment for new socialist Democrat poverty pimps they must offshore. Africa holds millions of NGO, Welfare, Do-Gooder jobs opportunities. They, the Democrats/Leftist, just need to get a constant hundred billion dollars/year funding scheme going so that they can start raking it in. Naturally they will have to partner with local national thieves. I don't think that these two organized crime types have yet been able to put aside their distrust of each other for their own common profit. So sad.
