Jeffery Sachs is a POS and a commie liar!. This Scumbag needs to be sent to Africa and away from the US.
Tomorrow it will be: It's dire in Africa, and today must be Tuesday.
Why?
When you refuse entry to your home to strangers --- do you also lock out your children?
When you decide to stop feeding the bums on your doorstep - do you stop feeding your children?
Your position makes no sense at all....
Neither does sending more money to the corrupt bastards in Africa - through the corrupt hands of the U.N., or through the corrupt hands of all the NGA that are between the Africans and our money....
Resources are not limitless -- and charity begins at home - with friends, neighbors and allies....
Most of Africa fails that test, and they have failed to meet even the most minimal standards of decency and self control toward their benefactors over GENERATIONS.....
Semper Fi
They're gonna miss all the white farmers they massacred soon.
"Most of Africa fails that test, and they have failed to meet even the most minimal standards of decency and self control toward their benefactors over GENERATIONS....."
That's because we 'gave them a fish' instead of 'teaching them how to fish.'
They fail because of ignorance. And arrogance. The UN is just the icing on the cake. They'd fail even without the UN. Because the charity isn't charitable.
Thank about that.
I have to disagree - we 'taught the how to fish' they just never listened.
How many times do we need to teach them?
(and why do Americans have to be the teachers?)
Think about that...
Agreed. But see, the current crop of psychpopaths and murderers get a free pass, as they are the vestiges of colonialism, don't you see? I figure that Africa may make some progress in, say, two hundred years!
Good money after bad. The real problem is lack of recorded private property, not lack of public works projects.
Does anyone have a figure on the gazillions of dollars and aid that's been sent to Africa over the years, and has it done any good? No more for Africa!
It's because they have been brutally exploited by us greedy capitalist first-worlders for centuries! /sarc
I'm sure the Congolese who had their hands cut off by Belgian colonialists would appreciate the irony.
"Jeffery Sachs is a POS and a commie liar!. This Scumbag needs to be sent to Africa and away from the US."
All of that, and as well, Sachs is a phony humanitarian - he's an elite parasite. All the funds for so many years and no perceivable process except in corruption of the UN.
Oh boy now you've done it..... ;-)
"How many times do we need to teach them?
(and why do Americans have to be the teachers?)"
You just proved my point: "the charity isn't charitable."
Last time I looked, this was pretty much a Christian nation. Of course, if the Liberals have anything to say about it, that won't be the case in the forseeable future.
BTW, spiffy tagline. Whose side are YOU on?
