What are the governments of the world doing with $35 trillion every 12 months that isn't solving world hunger, but somehow if they could only spend $35.0057 trillion we'd be in utopia? I mean, US foreign aid alone is $300 billion per year. That's evidently 52x the number to solve world hunger, being spent annually on foreign aid by one country.
I think this guy's estimates are way off. It's just too difficult to believe that world hunger is a one-time payment away from being history. If his numbers are correct, it's clearly not a government funding issue, but a government budgeting issue.
"Half of the population of Afghanistan -- 22.8 million people -- face an acute hunger crisis, according to a WFP report released Monday. Rampant unemployment and a liquidity crisis means the country is teetering on the edge of a humanitarian crisis and 3.2 million children under the age of five are at risk, the report concluded."
