They're always taking on new Pirates.
We can't afford 450 million and of that 200 million is from the Chinese. So you want to borrow more from the Chinese to feed the Africans? Let the Somalis figure it out. Why should we put our children in debt so they can eat? All they are going to do is hack each other up with machetes or die of aids. You can always donate to private charities if you are so moved.
On Wednesday, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said the U.S. will give another $28 million, on top of the $431 million in assistance it has given to the Horn of Africa this year, which Clinton said was simply "not enough."
Britain has pledged $145 million in the past two weeks — about 15 percent of what is needed — and the European Union pledged around $8 million, with more expected in coming days. Spain has promised nearly $10 million and Germany around $8.5 million but Oxfam said France has so far not pledged any more money and Denmark and Italy have said no significant new sums are available.

Maybe we need to take a lesson from France, Denmark and Italy, seeing how we ourselves have no further funds available. When is Our Country going to get it.
Also good post Mary above.
