Dubya stingy?

Truth, absolute truth, relative truth or a smattering of truth?

Dubya claims America not stingy, pointing out that magnanimous America spent $2.4 billion on food, cash and disaster relief last year. Oh so true.

What he failed to mention was that America spent $13.6 billion on Hurricane disaster relief, most of which went to his Bro's fiefdom of Florida. Also true but unmentioned.

Don't get me going on how much America spent to kill 100,000 Iraqis since the first Gulf War. Don't get me going on the $7.4 million per HOUR the current inhumanities in Iraq is costing US taxpayers. At that rate, if Amerika would stop the war for 5 hours, they could pay their stingy $35 million in promised Tsunami relief without driving the country further into debt.

The truth of the matter is that Amerika IS stingy when it comes to humanitarian relief. When you consider Canada with 10% of the population has anted up $40 million (CDN) it's all to obvious that dubious defense of his stinginess is a little short on reality. But then again Amerika has become like that.
