Sending money to the cyclone victims

I feel like we should keep that money here to continue helping the victims of Katrina who live in our own country. How do you feel about sending them money?

The victims of Katrina have had more than enough time to get back on their feet. Right now there are people who have just had everything jerked out from under them and in many cases there are no relief organizations to help with pressing needs.

Didn't Katrina victims get those Visa cards from the gov't? Seems like it might be better spent elsewhere

If I remember correctly much of it was spent on stupid stuff like casinos strip clubs and so on.

I prefer people that want to give, give. Don't see why the government feels the need to give money away.

I was under the impression that this government won't accept the help.

There is that possibility but we have offered and urged their government to accept this help.

We want to give our money away so much that we won't take no for an answer? That's messed up. Why does it fall on us to help out every tom, dick and harry when we tell our own people to screw off?
