NEW YORK – From antibiotics to clothes to cash — lots of it — U.S.-based relief groups report an overwhelming response from donors moved by the devastation of the Indian Ocean tsunami, with more than $200 million raised as of Tuesday. One charity said online pledges were coming in at the rate of $100,000 an hour.
I was wondering why we are still providing aid when our nation is slowly deteriorating why don’t we use this money to pull our economy out of debt. There are people in the U.S. starving do you see us spending $200 million dollars on them to make sure that they are fed? The money that we are giving to them is not helping our nation out so why are we still donating this money?
