you must have heard about the mismanagement of the money that was to be used for katrina relief a few years back. well even the red cross admitted to mismanaging the money. so who is to say that the government wont collect all this money then all of the sudden it will be "lost" or go somewhere else. would you trust bush to not just take the money and pump it inot iraq?
or get himself some new cars and other shit?

i dont trust the government enough to give it any more then i have to. since as it is lots of money get wasted every year there are countless cases of politicians using taxpayers money for their vacations and flying their family around every year!
so in order that this doesnt happen you now need to create a body to supervise this flow of cash to actually reach that destination. and how will it reach it? is US just going to hand it over to that country's government? well all that is going to do is make the politicians of that country rich. i mean lets face it, if our government "mishandles" large sums of money every year do you honestly think the government of a poor country will not? i mean they will see this flow of cash infront of their face, and you think they wont dip in?

and the fact that they will force you to donate doesnt really make it a donation now does it?

if you want to support a child or a family from a poor underdeveloped country atleast do it through those agencies that will let you meet the person you are sponsoring and give you his/her address and somekind of way to contact them. that way you can atleast send them a letter or something to ask if they even get any of this. or establish some sort of communication with that person. i know a few people that do this kind of thing here at work. and they actually went to that country and met the child that they agreed to sponsor. and they keep in contact with that child to make sure the money doesnt go elsewhere
