A few years ago I attended a talk by Prof. Jeffrey Sachs, professor at Columbia University who was commissioned by the UN to develop a program to end worldwide poverty with sustainable, long-term initiatives -- Note this is not the standard aid, but stuff like microcredit and micro-entrepreneurship.
He traveled the world and came back with the price tag: $1 trillion. That is not to relief, but to END poverty worldwide.

- rms 18y agoSounds about right. This is something worth adding a trillion to the US Debt for.
