o_0;;
Poverty and hunger cannot be solved by just clicking a button. If it were that easy, don't you think it would have been done by now? As for whoever said that 'it's a shame I don't rule the world because there would be no hunger', do you really think you could possibly handle the power? It would drive you crazy. And there would be so much to sort out, and stuff - every decision would have a positive impact on some and a negative impact on others - do you really think you could bring yourself to make decisions which could harm people as well as doing some good?
Sources.. sounds so ED-ish (btw how is ED nowadays? Does the vegetarian's paradox thread still exist? I never go there anymore.. are people still as ad hominem and illogical as before?) xD but yes, generally a link to an article or statistics of some study or another is needed for credibility. I have no doubt, however, that the figures are definitely in that region somewhere..
Another point: you cannot solve a problem simply by pouring money into it. Sure, America could solve the world's hunger, but it would mean converting all that money into cash and then distributing it to the people by hand - any other way would mean substantial loss of money through 'the system'.

XD Well said Niph!
ED.. I think it sounds the same..
We would have to consider the economical effect.. ninja
The usa does have it's own problems to worry about..
If we print too much money there is a inflation beacuse the goverment has to have gold enought reserves to back up it's money or else it's worthless..
The usa isn't the richest country in the world either.. I don't see why they should be the one to have to attempt to feed the whole world. It's just not possible..
Hm.. I wonder where CH has been latley..

Nooo.
In the Ukraine, in 1993, to try and pay back loads of Russian debt, the gov't printed banknotes like crazy and the inflation that year in the Ukraine was 4750%. I'm not kidding. (have to research Ukrainian history as I'm representing them in MUN)
CH? ninja
Bottom line is that no country wants to risk their own economy for anyone else. Call it self-preservation, call it greed. *shrug
