"U.S. is Too Stingy"

A holier than thou socialist U.N. official claimed today that the U.S. is too stingy when it comes to contributing to disaster relief. The pathetically misguided Norwegian suggested our taxes should be raised so that our 'contributions' could be higher:

The Bush administration yesterday pledged $15 million to Asian nations hit by a tsunami that has killed more than 22,500 people, although the United Nations' humanitarian-aid chief called the donation "stingy."

"The United States, at the president's direction, will be a leading partner in one of the most significant relief, rescue and recovery challenges that the world has ever known," said White House deputy press secretary Trent Duffy.
But U.N. Undersecretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs Jan Egeland suggested that the United States and other Western nations were being "stingy" with relief funds, saying there would be more available if taxes were raised.

Well, la de frickin da! Time for some of our high up politicians to start cutting WAY back on what we spend on this fraudulent organization. We can aid who we want to on our own, much more efficiently than the corrupt U.N. Their time is up!

UPDATE: Reuters is reporting that Mr. Egeland is backing off his earlier charges that the U.S. is "stingy." How very astute of him!
