I am merely saying that if a natural disaster did happen, god forbid, that no other country would help America nearly as much as America helps them. That is one of the reasons America is in sooooo much debt.
We have a $385 billion budget deficit this year and a $75 trillion dollar national debt. We are spending close to $2 billion a month killing folks in Iraq. And private credit card debt in the US totals around $60 billion. The US government has pledged $350 million in tsunami relief.

Yup, it is the tsunami aid that must have gotten us into all that debt all right. No doubt about it.
