Every year so many tax dollars are wasted on so much stupid stuff, why can't we waste some of our water resources and help these people?

Answer 1

As an Australian let me first say thanks for the support and the thought. The problem Australia has, (on top of drought) is that green minority groups hold enough sway over local politics (mostly inner city trendy types) preventing new infrastucture being built while population continues to rise right around Aus. So while there is and has been long term drought which is affecting vast swathes of country areas and most cities, the local politicians compete with each other for new and innovative solutions which will cost a fortune and not make up the shortfall, instead of making the harder political decsion to build new dams. That's politics and it sucks! I have nothing against saving waste and making the infrastructure we have more environmentally friendly but eventually a bullet has got to be bitten and new infrastructure provided for the country's future. The only reason we prosper as a nation is the long time thought behind much of our forebears decisions, which is lacking in today's crop of shallow opportunists.

So I guess what I'm saying is, there's nothing the US could do anyway, unless you included reigning in your more vocal loons like Gore and media that help feed into the religous 'green' hysteria.

Answer 2

Um here's a quote by past sec. of state Mr. Henry Kissinger a modern day Judas
"people that are poor are useless eaters"
so here's your answer.
America will stop at nothing to be right, the best and to make sure their way of life is preserved at the cost of all other life.
I am ashamed to be here, and I think our fore fathers who fought to be free would be ashamed.
America blames the poor and is the most racist uncomforming nation in the world, and you are not repeat NOT a democracy- your a combination of roman and greek governments what were democrats and republicans? Greek and roman.
Embarrassing.

Answer 3

As if America doesn't have enough problems already. There are people here thats not getting the help they need. I'd much rather my tax dollars go to them. You need to get home together before you go out helping others. We are so bad about that.

Answer 4

i come across it humorous that everybody is directing you to Bush whilst it quite is the Democratic management that has been asserting this for rather a whilst...AND the typical public consents WITH THEM! Your factors are thoroughly properly suited. WE invaded. WE bumped off the government. we'd desire to stay in till it quite is resolved. in spite of the shown fact that, we at the instant are not punching bags. we at the instant are not inner maximum risk-free practices for Iraqi parliment. Even you may desire to agree that a parliment month long holiday whilst OUR troops are development faculties is bogus. it quite is American. The polls instruct this. Over eighty% had to invade in 2003. Now 70% desire us out now. it quite is BS and looks terrible. in spite of the shown fact which you attack the incorrect team. it quite is not the 30% that believe the warfare it quite is your issue. it quite is that fifty% that converted because of the fact it quite is soooo not user-friendly. it quite is a political occasion enjoying video games with the lifeless....it quite is a media too lots focussed on Vietnam.
