Yes, another case where throwing money at a problem won't solve it.

The money will generally end up in the hands of the people who need it the least because those are the people who the money attracts. The greedy.

The poverty remains, the people sell their dwindling resources for sustenance and the whole cycle is powered by home bred altruism. I'm with this guy to a point because while most of us would like to make up for the damage done to Africa by the world at large. This is not the way to do so. I for one think we should lay off.

Some countries actually bar the importing of foodstuffs as aid because it screws up the local food economy creating more poverty. Really terrible ideas and while people starve without this free food. We shouldn't be creating more hungry people by handing out free meals.

That's just asking for dependents...
