I like that paraphrase TL.
Well I suppose that since the USA doesnt give anything, no one would miss what we do give, so we might as well stop. It really isn't appreciated any way.
Oops, wait...even though we don't give as high a percentage of the GDP our overall official governmental charity still outweighs that of all of europe combined...(I should say EU). I notice also that the figures quoted do not count all the dollars contributed by private groups and organizations, by churches, and individuals. Doesn't count goods and services donated by doctors, lawyers and educators. Statistics...funny numbers those....you never really kow what they are telling you, unless you are the one generating them.
Now lets look into just who is sponsoring the "Center for Global Development" and find out what biases and motivations may be behind their numbers....
Ok at first blush, they are all Globalists and are basicly against any kind of national sovreignty for the US or any other country.... I guess you could get that from the name. Lets dig deeper.
Ok there are a lot of people who call themselves Economists. From the track record for economists in the USA..thats not good for their rep. They are wrong as often as they are right, which basicly just makes them legal bookies.
Ok now for their Partners....Harvard University's Center for international development, International center for research on women, UN Development program, Global Development network...I see a very clear pattern of socialistic liberal organizations. (now that isn't an insult, It is a fair assessment.)
So is it really any wonder that the numbers that would shed a good light on the USA are eschewed for ones that make Globalizatio seem like THE answer promoted?
