Yup! It's really always been like that. Frankly, I think it's inexcusable that the richest and most powerful nation on earth spends so little to alleviate suffering in the world and then spends more than everyone else in the world fighting the fires that suffering ignites. It's cruel, immoral and just plain stupid.
