As US and Canadian governments float white elephants in Afghanistan and Iraq for the US, our neighbours in Haiti face famine as they await N. American crumbs. Cheney is pledging one billion $$ dollars to Georgia for another of those white elephants. Something is very wrong with how public money is distributed by our governments.

You bet there is baby! There is something very wrong how public money is distributed anywhere outside of the US when the American taxpayer works for hard earned taxes that gets distributed anywhere else. There is something wrong when public money being handed out by the gov/corporate connection as a freebie anywhere other than the American public that worked to pay these taxes. The Constitution was never written for this kind of cheap taxation trick for outside handouts. Helping other nations in desperation should be in voluntary charity, not forced taxation.

How long do we, the working, overtaxed, under appreciated, get to pay for the wars of other countries...you don't like the USA ? send us our money back...you don't like the USA, don't ask for our help. I'm tired of paying (with my time, money, and the lives of my friends & family), for the failures of other governments, and all the weather related messes..

You don't like the USA, go home to your country.

There is something true about your arguments,except these are not weather related issues,rather climate related issues .In case most of you don't know,hurricanes are getting stronger and stronger as ocean temperatures continue to rise.You might want to save even much more money or your own sake .Unfortunately saving food will prove much more difficult in the future as desertification spreads,rivers dry out ,etc,etc.
Thank you Bush and neocons for refusing to do anything about climate change .Arguments for failing to do so ?Because these measures could be detrimental to the US economy .Climate change obviously is not in his eyes ,perhaps traveling to New Orleans could could you from that silly idea.
Many years later and he place is still a mess.
