The USA is the single largest giver of economic aid in the world. end of story. |

One wonders what has become of all the aid given to third world countries thus far? There are adverts depicting scenes of children drinking filthy water etc. Surely with all the millions given already they should have at least water? Perhaps certain people are skimming a neat fortune on the backs of these unfortunite people. Nothing would surprise me with the present climate of politicians and governments greed and short sightedness. |

What is the point? Foreign aid and War on poverty have had the same results. Makes not one iota of sense. |

It's funny to read these comments and see how the American education system has failed completely and how people can't understand even the most simple concepts of economics. America donates by FAR the least of any western country. If you want to look at absolute dollar amount, fine, but then compare for instance the EU with the US. Fox News style propaganda anyone? |

In absolute numbers, that's correct. This chart depicts relative to the total size of the nation's economy, and since the USA has by far the world's leading economy, that's how both are true. |

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 |

What a bunch of BS. Whoever made this half-assed piece of crap does not have clue one about statistics or common logic. Your calculations to define a "commitment level" are flawed and based off a meaningless number - "government military expenditures". Where does that come from? What does it have to do with "commitment level to foreign aid"?? Stop being an attention whore and do some real research. |
