They need to fix themselves first. Most of Africa has been in some sort of strife since the late 50's.

If this was that big a deal, I'm sure Obama would have donated the balance of his pension towards food for his hungry kin. Until he does, I'm not gonna get too worked up about it.

The "experts" referred to in OP's post should go to the United Nations. Convince other countries to kick in enough money, or admit that the "experts" are, at the same time trying to guilt trip, and threaten the USA into being the primary cash cow.
An alternative would be to admit that the UN isn't really "United", and most of the world's governments do not care enough to put up enough money to fight hunger in Africa, any more than they were interested in stopping the genocide in South Sudan. I am so glad that Trump is using his policies to point out to the world how much of a cash cow the USA has become. Helping other countries is well and fine when other countries help on an equal basis. But during the past 50 years, the USA has borne the majority of financial costs, and the cost of our troops. Neither cost is acceptable. Share, and share ALIKE, or take a hike. |

Humanitarian aid is what led in many ways to the situations we see all over Africa today. Those environments cannot sustain the populations that festered in those areas. Dropping foodstuffs and supplies allowed for more reproduction whereas it wouldn't have happened if it was not for outside interference.
Welfare in this country has had the same impact on a household level, where some girl pops her first crotch biscuit at 15 and by 22 she has four fucking kids with NO WAY of supporting them herself. One of my old employees was exactly that, dumb, had no concern of the quality of life for her or the lives she brought into this world and was fully dependent on the State (US) to feed and house her brood. People like that are nothing more than simple animals and should be treated as such. |

"You have 19 countries facing some degree of food stress in Africa, and three of them are facing famine conditions.
All three of them are facing conflict, and the vast majority of the countries facing more serious crises are non-democratic governments," Siegle said. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
If you make 50K a year, and you're 300K in debt, do you give your dysfunctional cousin a handout when he asks? It's not a right, per se, but it is the recognition of human dignity. There is a moral duty to respect that. Nobody has a "right" to your charity, but you do have a moral duty to provide it. If my methhead cousin said he was hungry, I can spare fifty cents for a PB&J, you know? It's the right thing to do. The problem is, this money isn't going necessarily towards giving hungry people food. And, even if it did, simply dropping food off the back of a truck is not necessarily the just way to help people. We're talking about social justice here (the real thing, not the made-up bullshit about 31 flavors of gender), and that's not just about food. Plus, it's worth noting that it's not charity anyhow, since it begins by first stealing the money from other people. |

4.4 billion divided by 320 million equals 13.75.
Aka every single person in this country is paying 14 bucks When you break down the cost of billions into cost per person it gets sad really fast. |

Africans brought in the Great White Hunters to kill off the major predators and hazardous species in the 1930's in order to develop farmland and have the African actually become more independent.
Total failure. We now have exterminated the herds - just like our elk and buffalo - and Islam and Socialism has done everything possible to gather the people in cities where they can control them to their ends. Do you see this problem in India? No. If anything their farmers are over fertilizing and doing too much to raise even more crops. Africa? Despots and dictators because we prop them up with billions of dollars to buy them off. But the people still starve, and the more their governments try to make it a workers paradise the more farmland they seize - for themselves. We are financing a revolving door of entrenched governments ignoring the people and when revolution comes it's just another Mugabe wannabe who's actually in it for the money. Sure, send him $4.4 billion - and the people will still starve. It's the countries who had to pull themself up by their own hard work who are thriving in Africa, the sooner we stop trying to "help" the better. Trump DOES need to cut aid, it will force the UN to either come up with a financial workaround from other countries, or expose the scam for what it is. It will also disempower the neverTrumpers in State left behind by HRC and Obama who are doing everything they can to topple OUR government. $4.4 billion is pocket change for the Saudis, lets see how humanitarian they are. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
There used to be a few countries in Africa that served as its breadbasket and were able to not only feed themselves, but others as well. Now, due to the same sort of bleating liberal thought processes that precipitated this thread, those countries are erased and their farmlands have been "redistributed" . Tough shit now I guess. Also, there is PLENTY of food. Africa turned down our GMO corn because of the "dangers" .....better to starve, I guess. Another thing is, food is used as power. He who controls the food controls the people. He who has the guns controls the food. It's not rocket surgery. But, most Americans are not all that bright or informed as can be readily seen everywhere. |
