Umm, why exactly should the US Givernment be required to give cash aid when the American people themselves are more than capable of contributing directly to relief organization(s) of their choice? Yes, there are some things that only a government or military can assist on, but when it comes to cash, why would you automatically presume that it is the government's responsibility and not instead encourage giving by private citizens?
Please at least go and make a personal contribution (American Red Cross - Credit Card Contribution) before complaining further that the government is not giving enough cash...
