What constitutes a crisis worthy of $700 billion in emergency funding?, wonders AKMA, a theologian. He admits he is not an expert on Millennium Development Goals:
That doesn’t mean that it escapes my notice, though, when the Congress and the world’s financial systems can within a week decide to allot more than a half a trillion dollars toward shoring up already-wealthy people and institutions. Under the circumstances, one can hardly avoid the conclusion that political leaders don’t think of malnutrition and starvation, disease, and the lack of educational resources and economic opportunity as not that big a crisis.
