Disaster Aid

I wonder how much aid our countrymen along the Gulf Coast will receive from outside the US? Probably none.

I wonder if all the people of our country who donated to the tsunami relief effort will donate to this? Answer: Nope, we love taking care of everyone else just not ourselves.

Thank you - Have you noticed that we aided in the tsunami they b!tched that we didn't give enough when at the same time we are in need they will conveniently turn their backs.

Meanwhile, authorities in Mexico and Honduras took steps to help immigrants from their countries who live in the affected US states.

Venezuela offers fuel, food to hurricane-hit US

This is all I could find right now but, I am sure more countries will help out. It's the american people right now that need to pull up their own bootstraps and help out. There are many sites even online that will take $ donations and that is what they are going to need the most.

I mean, they usually don't help out that MUCH; we gave much more than they did in Tsunami relief, and even THAT was unusual for most nations involved.

Nope, as always, we're on our own. And I'm cool with that. I'd really hate to have to THANK the French or Germans for helping out.

The discrepancy in UN dues speaks volumes - the US gives a full 25% of the UN's total budget. We give the most cuz we got the money, honey.

You'd think these other countries would stop disparaging us long enough to scratch their heads and go, "Hey! WHY do they have all the money?" and not come up with some lame conclusion like, "Cause they're more greedy than us."

I think I heard the Saudis may pump an additional 2 millions barrels a day. Give me a break! That's an additional $140 a day to subsidize terrorists. Now if they gave it for free, then that would be asistance.....but don't count on it.
