After the United States' involvement in World War Two it went from being the world's seventeen largest military to the first, its GDP doubled and it became the world's largest creditor. Additionally, it initiated the atomic age and formed the United Nations.
After World War Two the US was so involved in the world's affairs and on the road to globalization that there really was no turning back.
FWIW, I bought a shirt, I also donated $5k to the United Way last year. Charity may start at home, but that certainly doesn't mean it has to end there.

You really donated $5k to the UW? *fist bump* Puts me to absolute shame.

Edited by BusyBadger: 6/7/2015 4:37:44 AMMy wife's employer has an employee match for the first $2K so we do it through them. Once it's pulled out over the course of year it's still a significant amount but not a huge one time account drainer. I think of it as sort of like a reverse 401k match! 😄 EDIT: They have a huge drive every year for employee donations, both time and money. It's one thing for some fat wallet exec to wrote a cheque, it's a completely different thing to donate your time.

I work for a university, so unfortunately, they don't match donations. I think that A.) they don't have the money for that, specifically, and B.) they don't want to match a donation to an organization that might have beliefs not in line with theirs, and therefore compromise their "neutral" stance, and give the wrong impression.

I agree with you about charity starting at home and not having to stop their. Sad thing though, is it does. And not in the way you think. When was the last time you seen a sponsor commercial for starving kids in america? What about families that legitimately need help financialy, but they are just above an outdated poverty level. I.e food stamp poverty lvl, is still set from the late 80's.
