Bankrupcy and the Millennium Development Goals

Question: How much is the proposed bail-out by the US government worth and how much has yet to be found to pay for the Millennium Development Goals?

Answer: $700 billion and $25 billion respectively. That's right folks, we need 28 times more money to fix the banking system than to stop 20,000 children dying needlessly every day. And guess which is easier to find. Morally Bankrupt is not too strong a term.
