When making your decision about the Acts, "Education for All Acts," "Global Child Survival Act," "GROWTH Act," and "Jubilee Act" please consider the 10 million children who die before they reach the age of five, the 3 billion people who live off of two dollars a day, and the little help we as a nation are to them. Now please act in support of these bills.
America as one of the most developed nations has done a horrifyingly poor job at sending aid. In 2003, America sent eight dollars a person to foreign aid whereas Luxembourg sent $357 per person. Thirty-six cents of every U.S. dollar sent was phantom aid, that is aid that gave no benefit to the poverty stricken people. As a nation, we spend $50 billion on cigarettes, $11 billion on perfume, and $17 billion on pet food. We should be ashamed at where our priorities lie and work towards change. You can start by passing these bills.
