Dear Reader,
This week in the news:
“Red Cross seeks relief donations
Orlando Business Journal, Wednesday, June 18, 2008 – 9:22 AM EDT
The American Red Cross of Central Florida is seeking donations for disaster relief efforts for those parts of the U.S. experiencing severe weather.
The organization has spent nearly $15 million responding to recent disasters, such as tornadoes in Indiana and floods in the Midwest.
After funding 32 disasters across the U.S., the organization’s Red Cross Disaster Relief fund is expected to reach its limits. Rising travel costs, such as fuel, have impacted the organization’s budget, say officials.”
Yet, Ben Bernanke was able to find another $75 Billion of your future income to lend to his banker friends.
Seems the people who control the money in this country can always find ways to bailout their greedy little friends who have created their own problems but can find no plausible reason to help people who are suffering from acts of nature, things they have no control over.
The priorities of the Empire, I guess.
