You're preaching to the choir here amigo. Conservatives know what mere handouts accomplish with the experience of LBJ's "Great Society" scam of the sixties. Thanks to Johnson millions of low-income Americans went on welfare. Not only did the poor get poorer, the crime rate skyrocketed. Many of these families remained locked in a cycle of poverty and crime. But good intentions are what counts, right?
Liberals just can't help themselves. They see poor people around the world and believe it's caused by either indifference or, most astonishing of all, the capitalist free-market system. And with Obama's probable election, further billions (trillions?) of tax-payer dollars will be thrown down various third-world kleptocracies around the globe. The road to hell etcera.

A week is an eternity in Politics: there are four Eternities yet to go until your Election. Obama isn’t yet in the White House, not by a long, long shot.
With any luck, McCain will get in and turn off the Foreign-aid tap quick-smart. Else our New Zealand news agencies are reporting wrong again (it happens sometimes) the United States has a small matter of US$700 trillion(?) of domestic financial crisis to sort out.
I cannot even envisage that amount of money, even if I close my eyes and try really hard...
Bags I that NOT ONE FOREIGN COUNTRY to whom the US has sent Aid in the past will send so much as one twenty-cent piece to help y’all out. They are ingrates and probably secretly gloating at your misfortune.
Fair weather friends, I guess. And it sucks.
