Overigens zijn ook al die "Foreign Aid"
programma’s van de US-regering illegaal en immoreel : het is (in het beste geval) Sinterklaas spelen met andermans geld.

In dit verband ook de mooie toespraak van de legendarische westman
David Crockett "Not yours to give" waarin hij aantoont dat alhoewel de doelen nobel kunnen zijn het regeringen
niet toekomt andermans geld daartoe te
confisqueren : www.pointsouth.com…

Uiteraard alle lof voor particuliere hulp zoals LIFHAS e.a.

Why no international relief effort

With my advance apologies if this is considered to be black humour.
But why is it that there is no international relief effort from Katrina like there was from the Asian tsunami?
Is that because, it has to paid in dollars? Why should it have to be paid in dollars? If the “relievers” send it from home, they pay in their home monkey currency

International Relief Effort
@ TIH,

Also not trying to belittle the grave situation, the "International relief effort" is Us!

Our citizen militias are so busy "guarding" the Iraqi outpost and 730 other foreign corporate bases, they are just too stretched to provide massive assistance needed at home. If civil unrest ensues from this tragedy, the "aid" will come in the form of martal law and FEMA "labor camps" for the displaced.

Watching the turmoil unfolding in Houston as they stretch their own limited resouces in assistance, added iquidity alone won’t solve much in the short term. The real needs are housing and food in the short term and reconstruction and job stability in the long run. REAL THINGS, not more paper!

Moving an entire city population out of NO is in itself a Herculean task, but the cleanup and rebuilding is even more gargantuan. We may need CCC and WPA type efforts to accomplish the tasks ahead.

Some new thought will no doubt surface about the amount of steel, concrete, and other building materials flying overseas. Will there be real efforts to contain some of them here, or will the battle for resouces just continue to ramp up in a "goods flow where the profits are best" scenario? Using overseas profits to fund the US treasury just became a LOT more risky, as the question for Foreign capital will be "use the dollars to buy materials or further fund US borrowing?"

TS has hit the proverbial fan – BIG TIME.

T.I.H. re foreign aid

www.allamericanpatri…

QUESTION: Have the foreign governments that you can tell us about come forward, possibly with condolences, possibly with offers of assistance in the hurricane aftermath?

MR. MCCORMACK: We have had a number of offers of government assistance to aid in the search as well as reconstruction efforts. These are general offers of assistance at this point. I don’t have a complete list here, Barry, so I don’t want to start naming off countries and leave somebody off because these offers of assistance are starting to come in. We appreciate each and every one of them, and we are going to work in the coming days and weeks with foreign governments to see how we can best channel these offers of assistance with relation to what the needs are that are out there.

substance trumps credit
Invisible hand.

It would be meaningless to have international aid if it were paid in dollars:

THE REST OF WORLD ALREADY loans us OVER 3 BILLION a day.

Amusing isn’t it. A month’s current account deficit would "pay" for the clean up. The immediate need is for real things, no? Fortunately the Red cross will take plastic. Did we all use REAL money a mess like this would cause a recession!

Het echte verschil is dat de Kyoto god ook nog eens rechtvaardig is, en God en Allah niet, aldus de socialisten.

Omdat die verder kijken dan hun neus lang is…. De eu had hier inderdaad een mooi gebaar kunnen maken.
