U.S. Adds $20 Million to Earthquake Relief

The U.S. Agency for International Development is adding $20 million to an initial $15 million contribution for Asian earthquake relief as Secretary of State Colin Powell bristled at a United Nations official’s suggestion the United States has been “stingy.”

There are over 125,000 people dead. If the U.S. had any extra cash laying around, I’m sure we would send it.

Inauguration likely among costliest

The inauguration is estimated to cost $30 million to $40 million.

See? It’s already spent. Sorry. Maybe next tsunami.
