Legislation would aim to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Barack Obama (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) have introduced the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), which requires the President to develop and implement a comprehensive policy to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief, and coordination with the international community, businesses and NGOs. Representatives Adam Smith (D-WA) and Spencer Bachus (R-AL) sponsored the House version of the bill (H.R. 1302), which passed the House in September.

“Eliminating global poverty remains one of the greatest challenges we face, with billions of people around the world forced to live on just dollars a day,” said Senator Obama. “We can – and must – make it a priority of our foreign policy to commit to eliminating extreme poverty

“Eliminating global poverty remains one of the greatest challenges we face, with billions of people around the world forced to live on just dollars a day,”

so if we give them all $2 we will double their standard of living?

Since half of the world has a cell phone, we could assume that they have more then a dollar a day... and would be excluded from Obama's plan..

leaving 3.3 billion either poor or stubborn*...

so why not just stop the "Over the past four decades, the United States has given about $480 billion in Aid" and write every one a check.... we could call it the global stimulas package....


* ( I wasn't poor, I just refused to have a cell phone, so not all those folk are poor. :wink: )
