Well I'm no economist either, but that sounds like BS to me. (:

It's the middle and lower classes who must spend every penny they earn and have nothing left over to save. Some people are rich partly because they don't go out and massively consume, they save and reinvest. Also, in all likelihood the materials for the boat were produced elsewhere anyway, so it's just corporations and companies benefitting, not the average American.



I mean direct aid - a non-reciprocal economic deal. If people, even the government, think they can get a return by investing in Africa's resources, by all means.



Yes, I would rather America not involve itself on the government level. Call it what you will, but I want what's best for America, not other nations.
