I am sorry to say this but it is attitude like this that makes Americans dispised all over the world. I know the majority do not have this opinion but the few that do make their opinion know. And they scream it out loud and clear. If I am not mistaken there has been aide pouring in from all over the world.
Australia $7.7 million
Japan $500,000
Sri Lanka $25,000 (still recovering from the tsumani)
Undisclosed amounts from
Germany, Canada, United Kingdom, European Union, Cuba, need I continue?
Please check the facts before being so quick to jump the gun and say we NEVER get ANY help.
Yes, please ... continue. And when you do, make sure you add up all the billions of dollars of foreign aid the United States provides every single year without fail, and has done so for most of our history. Then add up all the aid those countries have sent to us in our history. You will see a HUGE discrepancy ... HUGE.

"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
