Interesting quote by Bono on the bailout:
It’s extraordinary to me that the United States can find $700 billion to save Wall Street and the entire G8 can’t find $25 billion dollars to saved 25,000 children who die every day from preventable diseases.
already & not yet 
So true! Comparatively, it would only take SO little.The US has to come up with that much money just because people want to live above their means.
I definitely appreciate the sentiment, but this is a bit of an over simplification. Yes it’s a bailout for Wall Street but also indirectly for all the rest of us who would suffer if the economy were to tank.
You’re right…it is an oversimplification. But I appreciate it as a prophetic reminder of how much good could be done on behalf of the poor with a comparatively smaller sum of money.
Jason,Forgive my tardiness in noticing this blog. I agree with you 100%. Bono nailed us even better than Amos did in 6:3-7 with that inlaid ivory business.
