I know why the Goverments of these countries do what they do, but my first thought was, IF they can take our hardworking tax payers’ money to cover the greed of rich people, why could they NOT do the same with the POOR peoples of this world!!! What if they add only ONE hundred thousand pounds…not millions..not zillions…not trillions…no…read my words again…to help the people in poorer countries too…education!! health/aids!! and don’t shout at me and say that they are doing it already…and I will shout back and say they aren’t! they are not doing enough! They don’t care! they pretend that they are caring…some of those people working for the organisations might care, but the goverments themselves?…no! If there’s not oil involved or anything else for them…why would they care more? To “solve” the economic crisis in the America/UK…..UK taxpayers’ money + American’s = 37 billion pounds…+ 250 billion dollar = roughly… 162 billion pounds! and that =£288 per person in the whole wide world…every single person…adult/child! Then, no European Government (apart from the UK) has been included in this calculation…as I know there are more countries involved! And this crisis is all because of the greed of rich people!
Bank bail-out to take big stakes in RBS and HBOS
By Jodie Ginsberg and Steve Slater
LONDON (Reuters) – Britain waded in with 37 billion pounds of taxpayers’ cash to bail out three major banks on Monday, in a move that could leave it as the main shareholder in at least two of them.
In return for the government’s money, the banks will be forced to curtail the bonuses that many believe encouraged a risk-taking culture that precipitated the global financial crisis. They will also have to scrap dividends….read more HERE….the link will open in a new window.

America…Bush, Paulson to unveil new rescue package details
By Michael Mathes WASHINGTON (AFP) – US President George W. Bush and his Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson were Tuesday to unveil details of a comprehensive financial rescue package that includes investing hundreds of billions of government dollars into several troubled banks.
In its boldest move yet to fend off a mounting financial crisis, the US Treasury is expected to announce a plan to invest 250 billion dollars in potentially thousands of American banks, including the nation’s largest….read more here on this source: HERE link will open in a new window.

Nikita ek het nou net hierdie opgetel op een van jou links!
Mens weet van die probleem, maar ek was nie bewus van hierdie groot syfers nie. 😯
Around the world, 27–30,000 children die every day. That is equivalent to 1 child dying every 3 seconds, 20 children dying every minute, a 2004 Asian Tsunami occurring almost every week, or 10–11 million children dying every year. Over 50 million children died between 2000 and 2005. The silent killers are poverty, easily preventable diseases and illnesses, and other related causes. In spite of the scale of this daily/ongoing catastrophe, it rarely manages to achieve, much less sustain, prime-time, headline coverage.
Ek wil graag iets met jou deel. Hoe meer ek gee hoe meer kry ek terug. Dit is regtig so. Ek weet nie hoekom werk dit so nie. Dit verbaas my nog steeds. Daarom sal ek nooit ophou nie want ek is te bang dit gaan sleg as ons ophou gee. Laat my dink aan Kerkorrel se liedjie gee, gee, gee!
Mens hoef natuurlik nie eers baie te gee nie, elke bietjie help. Want bietjies raak baie!!!
Dankie vir hierdie, ek het dit ook op altwee my blogspot blogs gaan link!
Ek het regtig ‘n passie vir ander mense se swaarkry, hierdie inskrywing het my sommer weer op ‘n “high” gesit!

My laaste sin maak nie sence nie, my Rooi taal kom vreeslik sleg na vore as ek op ‘n slegte plek is! whahaha 😆
Ek het ‘n passie daarvoor om ander mense se swaarkry te verlig. Dit laat my goed voel om glimlagte op ander se gesigte te sit! Al is dit nou net om geskenkies te gee vir iemand wat daardie geskenk regtig nodig het. Die nuwe brief wat ons van die Danville hulpprojek gekry het, vra die kinders klein geskenkies vir Kersfees. Sommiges is eindelik so min! (Ek het die brief op my blogspot blog geplaas)
Maar kan jy dink hoe gelukkig so kindjie se hart sal wees.

Hi Wipneus, dankie! Ek sal gaan loer op jou blogs. En die beste van als is, hierdie finansiele krisis is as gevolg van die inhaligheid van hierdie spul rykes in die wereld! As hulle skielik daardie geld van belastingbetalers kon vat (sonder ons toestemming!), waarom nie al lankal so iets gedoen het om armoede te verlig nie! duh! hulle is te inhalig om dit te doen!
Die Bybel se mos, werp jou brood op die water en dit sal dubbel na jou terugkom…ek weet nie of my woordkeuse hier reg is nie “dubbel”… dis wat my man glo…veral as dit by tiendes kom! Ek het nog nie in SA (voorheen) gesien dat hulle –sien hierdie link! —
dit in SA doen nie, dis klein geskenkies in skoendose toegedraai met geskenkpapier..daar is ook sekere vereistes…geen geweertjies…ens. en dan sit jy in ‘n boks ietsie vir ‘n dogtertjie of ‘n seuntjie…jy kry pamflette met al die aanwysings van watter tipe speelgoed ens. maar dis ‘n groot “operasie” en baie kerke/skole raak betrokke en jy gee dit af vir hulle en hulle versend dit..veral na Oos-Europese lande/Afrika ens. gaan loer bietjie! jy kan dalk so iets vir Danville doen…
Hi Allen, Welcome and thank you!

Dis nou ‘n oulike idee! Ek het al begin om hier en daar geskenkies te koop. My seun se verloofde het ook by haar werk begin insamel en geskenkies vra.
Oor die brood op die water, jou man is heeltemal reg. Ek glo dit vas! Hoe meer jy gee, hoe meer kry jy. Dit sal altyd goed gaan met jou!

hi Wipneus, ek het so pas na daardie link gaan kyk, regs , so bietjie “ondertoe”, is daar ‘n link wat se “boy/girl ideas”…daar kom dan ‘n lysie van idees op wat mense kan insit as jy op dit kliek, nogal oulik. Sterkte met jou projek!

Nikita, Wip sê dis nie hoeveel jy gee nie. Ek hou daarvan om elke maand die bietjie wat ek wel opsy kan sit vir iemand behoeftig te gee. Ek voel net dit is my “plig”. Ek gaan bietjie loer na die Danville projek wat Wip van praat.
on 15/10/2008 at 16:11 Nikita
hi Zee, beslis nie! Elke druppel help en maak die emmer voller! Hierdie skoendoos-projek is vir my regtig ‘n oulike projek en sal graag wil sien dat SA ook so iets begin, dalk moet julle dit begin met Danville en dan steek ander areas dalk by julle aan! mens weet nooit.. 🙂
