Sorry, computer wouldn't let me posrep you again

Who gives most in private aid to poor countries?

But didn't you also make a great many countries adjacent to the Sahara even more poor by enlarging that desert through your belligerence. Tried to impose your farming methods onto a system that worked reasonably okay had disastrous consequences for many people there. Yes you did.

I think countries as rich as ours should give some of our wealth to those who are struggling to live let alone struggling to buy that new ultra-mega, hypodrive turbo- thrusting 1k gigawatt Porsche teasmade!!

we struggle to pay for luxuries - some of our fellow human beings struggle to pay for food to keep their kids alive.

We should pay up. And we should do so quietly without the need to big ourselves up for doing it.

( not saying you were doing this because its clear you were not)

How about every time there is a natural or unnatural disaster anywhere in the world, the US is there with aid and/or assistance first and most?

Just because some of our leaders have had a difficult time restraining themselves from the questionable use of force in ethnic, religious, and political civil war theaters doesn't mean we don't also give extraordinary amounts of aid to oppressed, hungry or victims of man-made or natural disasters.

[Post edit: Hanmi beat me to the punch, and with actual statistics].
See above

That happend after Nixon I think:-))
I think one of your better ones was Clinton. He was charismatic and had a strong (if a bit dodgy ) wife and shagged his secretaries!!

What's wrong with that? What is the point of being President of the free world blah blah if you can' t enjoy it a little?

We now swing wildly between idealistic visions of the future that have no basis in reality.

.
Tony had three terms in Office on this premise. And remember, he had the disadvantage of a wife who looked uncannily like Cruella DeVille.
