Funny, my mind wandered while reading...to an alcoholic/addict...they love you when the money is there to support their habit...and they're viscious evil creatures when the well runs dry...
You know we all like to be thanked or have some sort of gratitude expressed for helping, but like the parent and child who complains about their Christmas gifts, the parent must teach that child a lesson in gratitude.
America has been the worlds gift horse long enough! I want to see what other nations 'donate' against their income...I'd really like to know. We found out over the holidays that Red states are more generous than Blue States, so I'd really like to know about the rest of the world. What country or people are more generous than the United States? In addition if one searches, "Middle East aid," it's amazing to see the amount of money pouring into these countries.
You'll see answers to that question going in both directions. That's because the anti-American lefties will always, and I mean always, compare the giving of the U.S. -by the government- compared to what other nation's governments give, and in that specific little niche, other countries do better, and therefore they feel validated in crowing about how heartless and selfish Americans are.
Of course, if you add in the amounts given by charities, and also the uncounted millions in relief that are regularly provided through our military (and are not counted in their "government" figures), we blow them away by an insane amount.
But that doesn't fit the storyline. You know how it goes.
