What'd I Tell You?

It appears private donations from U.S. citizens have topped $200 million so far, and it appears the numbers are climbing. I think in short order, the private sector will have eclipsed what the government can do, and prove they can do it more efficently than the government. As noted; it will probably be with less strings attached, since it comes purely from the goodness of the American people's hearts. This is not tax dollars we're talking about. This is stuff we have voluntarily given on top of what the government has leeched off of us. (Hat Tip: Little Green Footballs)

Of course, this does not include the great work the USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN's carrier group is doing over there right now. They are flying supplies in, and generally being great Americans, while the U.N. postures and preens. The cost of having the carrier over there is astronomical, and that's something the private sector certainly can't do. (hat tip: Michelle Malkin)

I hope this puts to rest the "stinginess" of America once and for all, in the eyes of the world. I doubt it, though.
