There was a similar posting made at 4:00AM, but not many read it so I figured a repost would be in order. Use this as ammunition should any liberal twerps continue to harp about the U.S. being "stingy."

[newsgatherer]

kinda generous with our money.

[MikefromOhio]

Is the US stingy? Nope.

But this reeks of overkill to me. 350 mil was just fine. This is too much, considering the private donations and what other countries are also putting up.

[tfecw]

good think we cut all those programs...that we could save a butt load of money and use it on...ummm...natural disaster relief

[teenyelliott]

I hate to seem unsympathetic, and I am sure someone will get mad at me for saying this, but do we have to foot the bill for the entire friggin' world all the time?

[Non-Sequitur]

Use this as ammunition should any liberal twerps continue to harp about the U.S. being "stingy."

Getting called 'stingy' costs a whole lot less than $950 million. Still, look at the money trail. An extra $600 million for southeast Asia. An 18% increase in the state department budget. Ove 10% increase in foreign aid. Over $350 million for the Palestinians. Can we all say 'legacy building'? Or perhaps 'legacy buying' is a more accurate term.

He pledged it.......

Let him reach in his pocket and pay it.

Time Out! How about Darfur?

The Tsunami relief thing has run its course. I want the Saudis and other oil-soaked muslims to pick up the remainder of tsunami relief.

We should be spending our money on those starving at the hands of muslims.

Enough already !!

[beltfed308]

I think this country has done more than its fair share. Their government has the money/tools to do the job with what has been given.

[newfrpr04]

I TOTALLY disagree with increased funds.Don't we have some budget issues we are trying to resolve. Dems probably won't complain seeing that they like to fund the worlds ails . I think we as a nation have already done our share and so have individual Americans.

[atruelady]

I don't care what anyone says. We have already done enough. We don't have to rebuild these countries that are mostly muslim, and the gave the finger to the U.S. after the disaster happened.

I think we should stop. There is enough from this country especially with the private donations raised.

[floridarolf]

At least this will ease their situation a bit, now that they have to buy A380s to get rid of the shrimp tarrifs...

[kanecorp]

TOO much.

[sgtbono2002]

Damn George, I think we have sent enough, especially now since we dont who is in charge of disbursement and those people will never thank us anyway.

[digger48]

Deduct this amount from our UN dues.

[RAY]

What has our military aid cost - had heard the number of $6,000,000 per day - about two months worth! This should be added to these cash numbers.

We are all for helping, but apparently much of the aid is not getting to the people. The UN apparently doing its normal job of "coordination"!

[Piquaboy]

Will the appreciate more help like they did before and tell us to get our military out by the end of March?

[k2blader]

The President is quite generous with the taxpayers' money.

[montag813]

This is despicable. $600 million to rebuild resorts, casinos, pedophile brothels, mosques and madrassas. You tax dollars at work.

[JewishRighter]

Hey W: We love you out here but how 'bout puttin' that money in the Social Security lock box?
