PRIVATE US DONATIONS EXCEED $200M

US donations are typically generous.

Stingy? Most of us are not.

Ingrates? Many of them are.

Do you think this is also a great idea?

I bet it climbs even higher. The USA is the most big-hearted nation on the planet, IMHO.

Remember the figures that you see published do NOT INCLUDE ANY cost in the dollar figures of the US military, their transports nor the labor of the servcemen is being counted - try figuring out just the cost for the transport of helicopters, planes etc. Not only are we providing it for other nations sending aid, we are the only nation able to do it. No one else is able to provide that type of equipment in the numbers of trained personnel and transport.

AMEN. That’s why, when people of different races, religions, etc., suffer we often pay a high price to reduce their suffering. Often with money, and often with lives and blood.
