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 |
