The state of Texas continues to get drier and drier, up 2% from last week in terms of how much of the state is in "exceptional" or "extreme" drought. The state was told not to expect any relief in the near future, and the condition is expected to only get worse as time goes on. This situation has no positives at all and until the resources are available to send aid to the state's woes, it appears that Texas is in for a rough time. Obviously the nutrition of our own should be the highest of our concerns, and I believe that there is no sense in spending billions on foreign aid while so many of our own are going thirsty. We should be addressing our own problems before sending ourselves further and further into debt paying for other countries with money we don't have.
There is not much we can do. Though I don't know what causes droughts, the population might had been able to prevent it by taking care of the environment before it became an issue. Can they not just move the people out of Texas for a little while? They should stay with a family member or distant friend until the rain comes again.
ReplyDeleteThis has become a huge problem and is going to continue to grow in the future. The drought isn't only going to affect them right now, but for a while. The crops, livestock, and everything is going to be affected. Farmers have had to sell cattle very early because they don't have water to give them, or water to feed the hay so that it will grow. It's hurting the state not only agriculturally but also economically.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Reilly that we should start caring more about what is happening inside our country than outside. I wouldn't know how to solve the problem but we should atleast be finding a way to fix it. Why don't we use our money wisely?
