You got that right, Sammy. Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach him to fish, and he eats for a lifetime.

So glad I'm not oneof those "dirt poor" people trying to "live" on a dollar a day.

What has happened to compassion for those with less.

Very little of the money will make it to the people, dirt-poor or otherwise. The dictators and their cronies will siphon off as much as possible and stash it in their retirement fund outside the country.
