Topicality: To You must give to the governments to sub-saharan africa. Mark A. Hall, Fred D. Professor of Law, Wake Forest University, 2003, "The Scope and Limits of Public Health Law", Johns Hopkins University, 2003. In the legal arena, public does not simply mean "widespread." It invokes a special set of justifications for government intervention and coercion. There are an infinite number of groups you could give to, it would be impossible to get something on every group in the world. We assume the USFG and the governments are doing it. Voter for Fairness Topicality: Resolved "Resolved" means the legislative will to enact. The plan must be passed by Congress. Words and Phrases Second Series, 1914, Volume 4, 1905, pg. 356 The word "resolved" is as potent to declare the legislative will as the word "enacted." We assume aff is passing a plan; they are not. It is unpredictable and creates an unfair reseach burden. Voter for fairness + education. T Substaintial- Substaintial means an 11% increase in the context of international aid Paul and Weber in '02 Bush's spending play for the Fiscal Year 2007 includes 11% for IA. This substaintial increase reflects the presidents conviction that robust diplomacy and a commitment to solving global problems is the right thing to do. Aff does not give 11%. They only give 2%. This allows them to send $1 to Africa and somehow save a life and call that public health assisstance. We need to make sure it is substaintial so we can run certain CPs and DAs. Voter SPENDING: Bush Has Made It Clear, Spending Will Be Limited Grier, Jun 22 07 (Peter Grier. The Christian Science Monitor. Boston, Mass.: Jun 22, 2007. Bush will uncap his veto pen, says the White House. And officials insist the vetoes will be upheld. Some 147 House Republicans have pledged to support the White House efforts to curb spending, according to the administration. That is one more lawmaker vote than needed to sustain a veto in the House. Link: Plan Ruins Fiscal Discipline By Spending Unnecessary Money 1. Foreign aid is a waste of resources, the only outcome for the US is losing money Cooper, 96 [Cooper, Mary. "Reassessing Foreign Aid" CQ Researcher, 9/27/96.] In a study of 77 countries that have received U.S. development assistance for at least 35 years, Johnson concluded that 39 were no better off, in terms of economic growth, than they were before they began receiving the aid. "Of those 39 countries, fully half actually are worse off." Johnson says. Severe economic stress leads to an unleashing of missiles, nukes, and biological weapons by countries that have them in order to save the country Bearden, Thomas April 25, 2000. (http://www.cheniere.org...) Just prior to the terrible collapse of the World economy, with the crumbling well underway and rising, it is inevitable that some of the weapons of mass destruction will be used by one or more nations on others. An interesting result then—as all the old strategic studies used to show—is that everyone will fire everything as fast as possible against their perceived enemies. TEXT: THE REPUBLIC OF IRELAND will substantially increase it health care to sub-Saharan Africa by adopting the recommendations of the American Association of Blood Banks. OBSERVATION 1: SOLVENCY: Ireland's public health assistance to Africa can do the affirmative plan and they have excellent experience Lane and Sachs, 03 (Philip and Jeffrey July 10, 2003, Lexis Nexis, accessed June 30, 2007, TW//JDI) Public health experts will stress our phenomenal capacity to save millions of lives each year in the poorest countries by stepping up the fight against AIDS, TB, malaria, and other killer diseases, using existing technologies and developing new ones... information technology experts will show how Ireland's own success with IT can be extended to support economic development in the poorest countries. Ireland's hosting of the UN report and the TCD conference are fitting reminders of this State's important role in helping achieve the Millennium Development Goals. Ireland is itself a model of rapid economic development based on successful globalisation. Observation 2 is the net benefits- First cross apply the spending dis-ad which is US-specific. Add this: IRELAND CAN HANDLE THE ECONOMIC BURDEN OF AID AHERN, 2/9/2007 [Bertie, (Taioseach for the Irish Aid Organization) http://www.irishaid.gov.ie..., White Paper of Irish Aid] Ireland has seen much progress over the last ten years. By any measure, Ireland today is a wealthy and developed nation. Now more than ever, we are in a position to help those in greatest need in some of the world's poorest countries. NET BENEFIT 2 IS CORRUPTION- WESTERN AID FAILS- IT ONLY FUELS CORRUPTION Ayodele, et. al. 2005 (Thompson Ayodele, Franklin Cudjoe, Temba A. Nolutshungu, and Charles K. Sunwabe September 15, 2005. http://www.cato.org....) The donors themselves contributed much to the failure of Western aid to Africa. Foreign loans and aid programs in Africa were badly monitored and often stolen by corrupt bureaucrats. "We failed to keep a real hands-on posture with aid," said Edward P. Brynn, former U.S. ambassador to Ghana. "We allowed a small, clever class that inherited power from the colonial masters to take us to the cleaners. It will take a whole lot of time and money to turn Africa around. 11 More maddening, the donor agencies knew or should have known all along about the motivations and activities of corrupt African leaders. They knew or should have known that billions of aid dollars were being spirited into Swiss banks by greedy African kleptocrats. EXTENSIVE CORRUPTION CAUSES ECONOMIC COLLAPSE, GOVERNMENTAL COLLAPSE, OTHERIZATION, LOSS OF HUMAN RIGHTS Peter Eigen SAIS Review: Corruption in a Globalized World, 2002 http://muse.jhu.edu... en.htm1 Numerous studies have shown how corruption also distorts public expenditures and investments away from sectors for which the government has traditionally been responsible, such as education and primary health services. Instead, corruption diverts public funds to rent-seekine opportunities that only benefit certain well-connected individuals... Corruption not only impinges on macroeconomic aspects of economic management... we should care about corruption because it affects human rights-not just in terms of the repression of dissenters and the denial of the rule of law, but also in denying the people the fundamental economic and social rights guaranteed to them bythe Universal Declaration of Human Rights... as corruption leads to a violation of human rights in at least three respects: corruption perpetuates discrimination. prevents the full realization of economic, social,and cultural rights, and contributes to the infrinnement of numerous civil and political rights. IRELANDS NEW CORUPTION PROGRAM ENSURES THAT ALL MONEY IS SPENT CORRECTLY CLAIRE O'BOYLE June 22, 2007 Pg. 22 HEADLINE: OUT OF IRELAND ..INTO AFRICA; Africa News JZ/JDI 2007 it's not just a case of throwing cash at the problem of abject poverty. The brains behind our overseas aid drive want to ensure the money gets to the people it's meant for - and makes a lasting difference. In the past, one of the greatest problems facing foreign aid has been the issue of corruption... in the past six months, the Government has employed anticorruption staff to make sure the money gets to where they want it to go. The 20 new officers were hired to make sure funds go to the rigt places and is spent efficiently... He said: "Ireland is set to extend its aid spending from EUR800million this year to EUR1.5billion in 2012."This is a massive increase and we need to ensure the money is spent correctly." Mr Lenihan said... "Thankfully, there has never been any major misappropriation or wastage of Irish ai
