Our group is working on a similar plan. See the Jobs for South Asia Coalition site. The people affected by the tsunami would be highly motivated, and they're also used to earning just a dollar or two per day, so even a moderate increase in that amount would be a godsend.

This is just plain nuts. We are allowing Mexicans in so they (the Mexicans) will keep Arabs out of our southern border.

My memory is a little fuzzy. Do remittances help or hind the American current account situation. But I am pretty sure it would help reinforce the dollar's role as world reserve currency.

I think this is what people talk about when the refer to meaningless jabber by the elites.

Definitely the most irrelevant article about the "big wave" that I've seen yet.

So I offer a toast...

To those who think instead of do, to those whose arm chairs are just too comfortable, to those whose heads are bigger than what's inside them. What would we do without them.
