Has anyone heard the harping about the US not giving enough foreign aid money and Iran giving more the the US?
US levels for foreign aid fall short of this goal (the US currently ranks last among the world's wealthiest countries at about 0.1 percent of GNP.) However, in absolute amounts, the United States is currently the world's top donor of economic aid, providing $16.254 billion in 2003 according to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development. In 2001, the United States gave $10.9 billion, Japan $9.7 billion, Germany $4.9 billion, the United Kingdom $4.7 billion, and France $4.3 billion. As a percentage of GNP, however, the top donors were Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Sweden. The Netherlands (pop. 16.3 million) gave $3.2 billion in 2001 — almost a third of what America contributed. We are funding a war against terror, forgive us world for coming in a little shy with the give away money. We are trying to make the world safe, democratic and free. Kudos to all those countries who were generous to give so much, the world needs you.

If I were in charge, I wouldn't issue dime one to any country. Since America is such a big bully and the cause for all the world's ailments, then no one will mind billions of American dollars being taken and put right back where it belongs...the taxpayer's wallets. Why didn't you check and see the amounts given to charity by AMERICAN CITIZENS. You anti-Americans really piss me off. Your FACTS are slanted and do not take into account charities and private donations. IF YOUR ANTI-AMERICAN butt would check those facts, you'd see Americans donate cash (as well as other aid and personnel) second to none!

we are not fighting a war on terror. terrorism is a tactic, not an enemy. bush is currently using terrorism by routinely dropping bombs on civilians and authorizing the torture of innocents. bush is not a president, he is a criminal, a gangster. he is draining our treasury and destroying our reputation. Almost all the money we give, anyway, is tied to our foreign policy goals. We have wasted a billion a week on bush's war based on lies. We certainly had the money to give ourselves a decent health care system and help the world. Instead, bush is using our treasury to sow terror around the world and keep all his buddies in the big money.

What is your point? These number do not include the military support we give either. I'm cool with what we do. No more needs to be given out.

In terms of the war on terror, the USA is working hard but not smart. America's foreign policy(which costs almost nothing) makes America the primary target for terrorists check the the link from which I am quoting: "More important, saying that Israel and the US are united by a shared terrorist threat has the causal relationship backwards: the US has a terrorism problem in good part because it is so closely allied with Israel, not the other way around. Support for Israel is not the only source of anti-American terrorism, but it is an important one, and it makes winning the war on terror more difficult. There is no question that many al-Qaida leaders, including Osama bin Laden, are motivated by Israel’s presence in Jerusalem and the plight of the Palestinians. Unconditional support for Israel makes it easier for extremists to rally popular support and to attract recruits." http://www.lrb.co.uk/v28/n06/mear01_.html

Wouldnt it be a shame that the US would actually spend money where we could really use it, at home? When is this country going to wake up and spend money on its cities, health care, needy and to create jobs? U2's Bono allways lambasting the US and UK for not giving more money to other countries. Thats all well and good, but what about our own country? Look around Bono and people like you, we need to take care of ourselves and stop giving it all away!! You obvously dont know this country very well.

You know I get so tired of statistics you can prove or disprove any point,people make up their on and no one cares or notices.I for one am very proud of this country's humanitarian efforts around the world,and I wonder why other country's take so much pleasure in discounting what we do.We are the first name they call when in need ,but who helps this country.We are the most maligned and least respected,then leave us alone,don't take our money and then spit in our face.I am very proud and fortunate to be an American.I am proud of the American people as a whole, I am not proud of the people that live here ,feed off the government,squander its resources,disrespect its flags, then bad mouth the USA. Say anything you want about GWB,say anything you desire about liberals,conservatives,etc,if you don't like it then vote for change but do not talk badly about this country that I hold so dear.. .stepping off my soap box.......

Being stationed in Bamberg Germany..?
Being stationed in Bamberg Germany..?
My husband is being stationed in Bamberg and is set for deployment for Oct. 09 we will get there at the end of August 09. We have a 1 year old son as well. I work full time and planned on going back to school this month but than was told we are being pcs'd to germany so i decided to wait.. (again) well my question is.. is it worth it to move for 6 weeks across the world? i am in DC now and give up my gov job and my husbands family? my family lives in texas and the fam i have here well dont really have any. i make really good money just about the same as my husband and I dont know how giving up my income and downsizing a couple thousand $$ is going to take on my family. but my husband really wants us to move with him and than just come back after he deploys, but how would that work and also BAH here in DC is great in germany its about 500 less and i would be giving up my income. Also i have my own apartment but i only stay there for 8 days out of the month since my inlaws keep my son during the day i have found it easier to stay anight there during the week days, and my husband wants me to give that up if i stay in the states but he doesnt pay any of the bills. All of his income is being put into a savings for our new home and its furnishings. but yes so i pay rent car note phones everything on my income and still do okay so i was just hoping that someone would see my side and if not give me some good advice that would help me.. i really dont know what to do.. the thought of moving to another country excites me but to be there for 12 months without my husband scares me. and about Bamberg.. has anyone been there as a wife of a deployed solider and stayed throughtout the deployment, instead of coming home? sorry for the run on.. but clearly yall can see im lost.. thanks for the help in advance Also I am in the national guard and have the option to go back active. Can anyone give me a listing for housing there if i chose to go back active. Okay so i know the economy is bad but jeez women, its not that bad where we wouldnt be able to afford to make the move on our own, i might not have been totally honest about the money thing.. when i said we make about the same well not really we both make several thousand a month but i kinda make a bit more than he does. so money isnt the problem i guess i was just looking for reason not to move, i mean he does deploy in Oct but after long hard thoughts and talking it over with him. i am going to move there with him and stay for his total tour there. i will just fly in family every few months and visit the states once a month if even that. Thanks for the advice but not very helpful.

Just a question......who is paying for you to move back 6 weeks later??????? The Military sure isn't that's for sure! But if you don't move your belongings when he PCSs, then the military won't pay for it later either. I see both sides of this. You have a great support system. Which is awesome. Allot of people don't have that. You are comfortable where you live now. You are making good money. You want to complete your schooling. He is not going to leave Germany as soon as he gets back from deployment. So how are you going to pay to move there? Then you also have to worry about getting command sponsorship over a year after he has been there. You would most likely have to take that money out of your housing fund. Are you 2 prepared to do that? Are you prepared to possibly stay in the states for his whole term in Germany? Have you checked into online college courses? Yup this is a hard one, but the 2 of you are going to have to make this decision. You need to decide what is best for the whole family and not just one of the people involved. I have been stationed in Germany & lived in Germany as a child. It's awesome, maybe one of the best OCONUS assignments you can get.You will find work, and have on post daycare for your child.

-Why only 6 weeks. So you would come back if he were to deploy? Or why would you not stay in Germany and do some traveling? My girls and I saw 15 other countries while we were stationed in Germany. And my husband deployed 2 times from Germany, which is when we did most of our traveling. We never came home except for one funeral. -Once he PCS's to germany you will lose the BAH rate for DC anyways, it will go to Germany. And if you don't go over, you will not get the COLA rate which will more than make up for the BAH you will lose. And if you decide to move back from Germany you will lose COLA. And the military will not pay for you to move back if the move is on your own. -If you are really worried about it all, Stay put then. Then move there after the deployment if they will even let you by then. But then remember that if you decide not to go then, he will still be there at least 3 years. If you need any certain answers on Germany let me know, we spent almost 4 years there and would go back tomorrow if we could. Good luck

Dilemma regarding career path in Engineering?
Dilemma regarding career path in Engineering?
I am a fresh graduate with no real experience I have been offered two job positions that are completely different and I am kind of confused. The first is as a Sales Electrical engineer, the company has existed for 86 years,they deal in cars,construction,electrical trading and construction,medical installation & trading,industrial construction & trading,etc...You get it the company is huge,they want me to be a Sales Electrical engineer on their product SIEMENS and they are willing to also send me to Germany for training.The other company in ranked 8th in the world in Electrical Design & Consulting. So here is my dilemma the two companies are really big and huge,but the problem is the big gap in salary the one of Sales Electrical Engineer is lower by like 30%,but everybody keeps on telling me that all the money is in Sales Electrical Engineering and the company told me that eventually i will be making more money as a Sales Electrical Engineer rather than an Electrical design engineer,so from the people in the field can you please tell me on the long run where the money is,i mean i find myself equally liking both job descriptions so I want to make my decision based on which path generates more money in the long run... Thank you The thing is I am happily willing to do both job descriptions,they both look interesting,both companies are huge,I am leaning towards the Sales Engineer job but is it justified to work for the lower salary,I mean am i crazy to do that,and is it true the there is more money in Sales engineering rather than Design Engineering.

The most fundamental question that you need to answer yourself is "do you want to be a salesman?" A sales engineer is a salesman that sells technical products so having an engineering degree, while being of questionable necessity gives credibility. Your career path downstream of either of these jobs will dictate which is better financially. You are not going to make big money at either position but in the positions you take after them. The difference is the path that they start you on. The sales path is through sales and marketing. The engineering path is technical. Both can be lucrative but they are based on different skill sets. Take a long-term perspective in this decision.

In the European Union, can countries like Spain, Germany, France, Italy etc all borrow at the same interest?
In the European Union, can countries like Spain, Germany, France, Italy etc all borrow at the same interest?
Or do they pay a different interest? I heard on TV that countries like Greece took on much more debt since their interest rates were lowered when they joined the Euro. So the debt crisis is supposedly a direct result of that. Before that they would have borrowed far less since the interest payments were higher. But does that really make sense? Do all countries in the EU borrow money at the same rates or do some countries borrow at lower rates than others?

1 :
Without any help from the EU and IMF they will pay the different rates based on market sentiment. Greece and Ireland bond rates were almost 6% when the problems came out. But all have to pay back their debts equally, North or South.
2 :
No. That would be like saying that all residents of Minnesota can borrow at the same rate irrespective of their credit risk.
3 :
Countries with the same risk rating can borrow at the same rate of interest. One country with a worse risk profile cannot and should not receive the same interest rates as a less risky alternative, in an open market, and typically won't get the same effective rate unless it is subsidized in some way
4 :
Different countries = different rates. Government of a country is the borrower, and borrowers with less income and more risk have to pay higher risk.
5 :
It does really make sense to me. I don't really understand why having the same currency means that when a country has a problem the rest should go and bail it out. And why the bankruptcy of a country would be a problem for the stability of the currency? It's like if a big company like..... let's say Enron, goes bankrupt the rest of the companies should bail Enron out like if Enron's bankruptcy was going to mean the end of the $. In old-style economy governments would overspend and then use the central bank to print more money to solve the deficit problem. That creates a lot of troubles. With this policy the governments have to be really accurate about their finances. But of course old-time school is always there and it seems that the ECB is going after FED and making the same mistakes.

It's like if a big company like..... let's say Enron, goes bankrupt the rest of the companies should bail Enron out like if Enron's bankruptcy was going to mean the end of the $. In old-style economy governments would overspend and then use the central bank to print more money to solve the deficit problem. That creates a lot of troubles. With this policy the governments have to be really accurate about their finances. But of course old-time school is always there and it seems that the ECB is going after FED and making the same mistakes.

Do you think it is wise to spend money making "Environmentally friendly bombs?"?
Do you think it is wise to spend money making "Environmentally friendly bombs?"?
I just read on Yahoo news that Germany made environmentally friendly bombs. I think that is nice that there won't be toxic gases and all but really isn't more wise to spend money on more important things then explosive devices? I just wanted other opinions please~Thanks;) I agree Snookie~;) That is how I feel~ That's why I find it silly that they say it is "environmentally friendly" but it is still causing deaths and destruction right?!

I think that they should just stop making bombs total. They are meant for destruction, so you can't get mad if that is what they bring. Besides, why should people decide to blow up this and that over a political argument between a few men. As Gandhi said: "What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans, and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the name of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty and democracy?" Make love, not war. :)☮

That is the dumbest thing anyone has ever created! I don't mean your question, I like your question because it shows us how much people want to fool us about wars and make us believe wars are okay! I mean if they want to be environmentally correct why create wars to beggin with? Wars are not environmentally right! I don't know, just my opinion! Love Pearl
