My heart certainly does go out to them, but my point is that billions are sent out to other countries while we have our own problems here. I sympathize for those in Haiti, Africa, and many other areas that require aid, but aid should be focused here until the people in our homeland are taken care of then we can help others. This isn't a private aid vs. government aid situation. This is the misguided view of people that are only motivated to contribute if some massive event gets news coverage.
