How many hungry mouths can be fed with 300 million? And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
    It depends.
  1. Mouths cannot eat money.
  2. People were employed and paid for the work allowing them to feed their families.
  3. The opportunity for good works by feeding the poor always remains with us. I'm reluctant to judge how someone chooses to redistribute the money for which they are responsible unless it involves immorality.

“How many hungry mouths can be fed with 300 million?”

Forget that. How many bureaucrats pretending to feed children can you pay with that money?

At least it provided jobs for a bunch of people for a while...
