What I have the most difficulty with is the amount of money I hear being pledged to support the relief efforts. I truly wish we would spend that amount of money on the inner city youth. If the poor families were fed, housed, and job centers were created, then I wouldn't feel so bad about spending such huge amounts of money elsewhere. I know that we do have welfare and HUD housing, but that system seems inefectual. My mother works for the local welfare board and she is quite frustrated with the current system and it's inadequecies.
We are quite benevolent with helping out countries after we bomb them. See Berlin and Hiroshima and what we did to airlift supplies. This seems to be the first time, in my memory, that we would provide relief
while we bomb them.
