In a sense...you're right. It does. But, bear in mind, these figures do not include "private" donations. I had an appointment last night to donate blood, and the Red Cross had a bucket there for donations to the relief fund. I'm also not sure if the $35,000,000 figure includes the costs of the C-130s flying in military food and water packets. I don't, for one moment, believe that we're not going to "step up".
