Obama, Hagel, Cantwell, Smith Hail Committee Passage of the Global Poverty Act

Obama, Hagel, Cantwell, Smith Hail Committee Passage of the Global Poverty Act
"U.S. Senators Barack Obama (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE), and Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Congressman Adam Smith (D-WA) today hailed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's passage of the Global Poverty Act (S.2433), which requires the President to develop and implement a comprehensive policy to cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief, and coordination with the international community, businesses and NGOs. This legislation was introduced in December. Smith and Congressman Spencer Bachus (R-AL) sponsored the House version of the bill (H.R. 1302), which passed the House last September."

The USA (us taxpayers!) has to cut global poverty in half by 2015?!!!!!!!??????

The USA alone?

Holy shitake!

Imagine what those bozos will pass when they have a democrat President!
