most of those polls believed it to me closer to 25 times that much. While, 33 billion certainly sounds like a lot of money, in truth its only 0.19% of Americas GDP, far less than the 0.7 percent promised by 22 wealthy nations to the Official Development Assistance in 1970(OECD). Of the 22 nations who made the 0.7 percent commitment to help end poverty, the United States, gives the smallest percent. Of those who took the Kaiser poll, 56% thought we over spent on foreign aid based on their own…

Food Aid Impact on Developing Countries Food aid has created a way for underdeveloped nations to receive the emergency aid their countries need. Nations like Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea (DPRK) can misappropriate national funds on military projects instead of developing their agricultural industry (Feffer).

willing to take his own education seriously, how is he going to take on the responsibility of planning the senior prom? Some people think that Joe would be a good choice for the prom committee chair because he is popular and on the football team. It takes more than being a charismatic guy to plan a prom. The prom committee needs a person they can count on. Back when the football team needed Joe’s help with their annual fundraising car wash he did not show up to help. Instead he went to a party…

reformers and refuseniks after the Lefebvre and McGrath parliamentary reforms, the current Canadian House of Commons committee system remains comparatively understudied to similar Westminster-style democracies. Decades worth of government responses to committee recommendations are largely untouched, even by the Library of Parliament; empirical frameworks developed to judge committee influence and effectiveness in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand have not been exported to the uniquely…
