A U.N. spokesman has rubbished the generous $30 million contribution offered by the U.S. towards global health programs in the developing world, despite the fact that the U.S. contributes half of all contributions all by itself and despite the fact that the U.S.'s current account deficit isn't all it could be and that it could probably well use the money itself right now.
"A plan to really defeat AIDS, TB and malaria is still missing, yet that's what we must keep demanding of these leaders," said Dr. Paul Zeitz, Executive Director of the Global AIDS Alliance. "This is not an issue of 'more money is always needed when it comes to poverty.' Rather, the full amount is needed so that we can actually get ahead of these health crises, which pose a threat to everyone."
"We will have to watch the G8 carefully to see they keep their promises," Zeitz said. "But even if they do keep them, the funding falls far short of what is needed. In addition, their promise to provide this money 'over the coming years' is outrageously vague for something this important."
Who gets the feeling that no matter what the U.S. does, it's never going to be enough for the whiners and Leftists of this world? They will still be lambasted from the highest heights.
