While many Americans literally sit ''fat and happy'' in this land of plenty, lots of other people have needs so great we can hardly imagine them. Consider that one billion of the six billion of us on this rock called earth subsist on just $1 a day. What could you do with a dollar a day? That's hardly enough to buy a loaf of day-old bread.

You can get a loaf of fresh baked sandwich bread (large loaf) for 64 cents everyday at the Walmart bakery.

What has happened to the BILLIONS the US has spend on these 3rd world countries? Now, they want BILLIONS more. Unbelievable!

If you ship them money and food, they just breed faster, increasing the problem. What they are going to need to be told is that they need rational self-discipline and will need to recapitulate the process that built industrialized nations. It takes too long. It conflicts with their cultures. They are unwilling to do it. Meanwile we are asked to flagellate ourselves over the miser that has always existed as if we caused it or could cure it.
