There is so much more aid given by the the US that doesn't fit into any measured category. This accounting is totally wrong. |

Hey, I thought that this graph and the web site, too actually illustrates the comperative commitment from different countries quite well. In percentage of GNI, the US is indeed by far one of the lowest. http://www.unmillenniumproject.org/press/action7_oecd05.htm |

Q. How much do Americans give? Is the amount we give going up? A. In 2006, Americans gave about $295 billion to charity. This was up 4.2 percent over 2005 levels, and charitable giving has generally risen faster than the growth of the American economy for more than half a century. Correcting for inflation and population changes, GDP per person in America has risen over the past 50 years by about 150 percent, while charitable giving per person has risen by about 190 percent. That is, the average American family has gotten much richer in real terms over the past half century, and charitable giving has more than kept pace with this trend. http://www.american.com/archive/2008/march-april-magazine-contents/a-nation-of-givers |

If I am to interpret "American citizens" as the taxpayers, and "aid" as foreign aid, I found a site that says the US gives over half what the next leading donor is. The statistic is buried in a bunch of charts talking about per capita donors, but in absolute terms, the US government gives much more than any other nation http://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Debt/USAid.asp |
