Just another example

American arrogance continues to grow by leaps and bounds. Considering that our initial aid package to help with tsunami relief was [embarrassed cough] $15 million that was only grudgingly increased to [another embarrased cough] $40 or so million after enormous public outcry, I'm not entirely sure why hearing that the US is now planning to spend $37.5 million on our own tsunami warning system surprises me.

Hey - if the white house can spend $40 million inagurating an unelected person into office (again), why not?

This is why I'm not blogging on politics anymore and why I only keep up with the bare minimum of what's going on in the US - I'm sickened, disgusted, and ashamed at the selfishness and ignorance of the people making decisions. I'll get through these next few years by focusing on what I can do to help and not so much on how much I am revolted by the current state of my government.
