I'm all for send aid and cash. These ppl who are not in support of it must be some of the coldest bastards on Earth. Fuck whatever their govt is on.... These ppl need help! Are you seeing these conditions down there?! I mean, what if that was you in that situation?
Being a benevolent humanitarian society is precisely what the U.S. needs to be doing more of. The reason people can question whether or not we should send aid because of our battered economy is due to the money wasted over the past 8 years warring! We'd have a surplus of cash right now if we didn't go into Iraq at all and if we handled Afganistan correctly the first time around. As an added bonus, it increases our perception of goodwill abroad, meaning less ppl will hate us hopefully.
Now that times are tight, ppl think it's ok to turn a blind eye and let others die in the street. Certainly, we can't help the entire world. But where ever you can positively affect your circle of influence, DO IT.
