What .... only $ 50,000?!

US gives 50,000 dlrs for quake-hit Italy

Excerpt:

The United States said Monday it would donate 50,000 dollars in emergency aid to Italy after a powerful earthquake killed at least 100 people.

"We send our heartfelt condolences to the families of those killed in the earthquake. Our embassy in Rome will provide 50,000 (dollars) in emergency relief funding," State Department spokesman Robert Wood told reporters.

Comment: I find this hard to believe: With trillions being thrown here and there and billions given to banks, and automakers; we are only giving Italy $ 50,000 for earthquake relief!?
