"Charity should begin at home, but should not stay there." Phillips Brooks
Obama would like to give away an additional $845 billion more for global poverty or about 0.7% of gross national product of America each year for the next 13 years. Under this give away “plan” the President must develop "and implement" a policy to "cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief" and other programs.
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Mahatma Gandhi
There is one word that people seem to miss when reading the article and that word is additional. You see the United States already donates $21.3 billion ($21,300,000,000) a year. SO what Obama, along with others are looking for is a total of $86,000,000,000 (86 billion) a year for foreign aid. That does not count what the American public already donates, nor does it add in the funds made available following natural disasters such as the Tsunami of 2004.
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving individuals. We all must work for our own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity." Marie Curie
If the percentage sounds familiar you may recall that is the exact percentage which the United Nations wants to tax every developed nation. Sounds like a way to get around American sovereignty and establish a tax which correctly fills the bill of “Taxation without representation”.
More later.
