COMMENTARY     

Dave
25th July 2009 		What is the point? Foreign aid and War on poverty have had the same results. Makes not one iota of sense.
Eric Cartham
30th May 2009 		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?
Mike
18th May 2009 		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.
Brandon
19th September 2005 		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

31st July 2005 		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.
