From what I read in this article is seems that the economy has been so bad that the Red Cross is selling pieces of its history to make money back from an over $200 million deficit in which they still have $33.5 million left. Everything from old WWII nurse uniforms to what may be the last Civil War era flag in existence is being auctioned off.
I can't believe that our economy is so bad that a company that was so crucial to our health while we started as a country has to auctioned off artifacts just so they can stay on their feet. Meanwhile we sit here giving out billions of dollars to General Motors so they can keep making cars so that our quickly growing obese population can eat more and drive themselves around. Here's an idea, stop making cars, get off the couch and use your own 2 feet, take a train somewhere if you need to, and throw those billions of dollars into our health care system that seems to be quickly falling apart.
I'm getting a bit heated thinking about this issue right now so I'll stop before I start cussing like a sailor but what do you guys think about this issue?
