To: Uncle Sham
"I want to remind the people in that part of the world, $85 billion is a lot.

In the abstract, sure. It’s a lot of money. But as a senatorial inspection group found the other day, there has not been anywhere near $85 billion worth of progress."

Two comments:

1. I'll settle for .001% of $85 billion, personally.

2. In many countries, the government would fix the roads, the schools, and the hospitals....and that's all. I suspect that the total wouldn't nearly approach $85 billion.
