The cost of living in a third world country a lot different than in the United States. It is not comparable.
I didn't say it was comparable. In some places a few dollars would be sufficient. The problem is that people are NOT getting enough to sustain life. It's too late for other countries. What I'm saying now is that instead of building a new iraq by sending our businesses there, we should help them utilize the resources that they have in a way that can build them in a way that will make them a comfortable, self reliant nation. But nooo, our society shuns hand outs.

Give a man a fish and he'll be fed for a day, teach him how to fish and he'll be good for life.

If we give them jobs they'll be at the mercy of us, and we will abuse them. Give them the opportunity to create their own jobs and they could be a great nation.
