SO...the Bush administration can whip out 700BILLION dollars like zat to save Wall Street, but no, they cannot even commit fully to their agreement with the other rich G8 countries in 2005 to rause the annual aid levels to 50 billion by 2010, and oh so suprisingly, is falling very short of the goal by 40 billion because of their own current spending plans. I know its good to focus on the economy, to avoid depression and the spread of poverty within their own people, but it kinda seems they've just pushed it to the side, and they just can't ignore the deepening poverty- as a previledged member of a "first world" country, we have the power to help the helpless. They need a balance, not "this" or "that".
p.s. American 700 million= NZ 1 trillion or some crazy expensive number like that. and i was just pulling ya strings when i said i was asexual. more like bisexuallyheterosexual.

yeah its rather strange
Eurgh! I didn't even know that much money existed in the world! Jebus imagine what you could do with $700 BILLION!
Ayayay... I look foward to the end of the Bush administration when we can actually have a president who has at least some vague knowledge of the economy. Though it doesn't look as though it will be Sarah Palin, if you've been watching the Daily Show WHICH EVERYONE MUST!
BTW... Awesome work on the blogging Jo! This one was really great, very informative and thought provoking. One hundred blogging points!
