No what your missing is that the majority of US aid to foreign countries is in the form of Military aid which is not included in this list. We give almost 2 billion a year in military aid to Israel alone, but only the 1.2 billion in economic aid would be included on this graph, read the info at the bottom people. |

This data for Total Economic Aid by Donor is out of date. After reviewing the CIA factbook, some of these values are very old. For example, Australia is shown as giving $894 million on this site but that was for the FY99/00. For more information, see this site https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2062.html |

WRONG! The US only gives 10 cents per person per day in private contributions. Coupled with the 15 cents per person per day in government aid, the US aid level is still is no where near other OECD members who give up to 99 cents per person per day http://www.cgdev.org/content/publications/detail/3647 |

A poll in 2000 by the Program on International Policy Attitudes (PIPA) and similar polls in earlier years found that most Americans vastly overestimate their country’s foreign aid spending. The median estimate of the percentage of the federal budget that goes to foreign aid was 20 percent, while the average estimate was 24 percent. The actual figure is a little less than 1 percent. In an October 1997 poll, 63 percent of people surveyed believed more was spent on foreign aid than on Medicare, while 27 percent though Medicare spending was greater. That year, Medicare funding was about 10 times as much as foreign aid. Respondents to the 2000 PIPA poll also overestimated U.S. aid as a percentage of all foreign aid. The median estimate was that American aid accounted for 33 percent of all aid. The actual figure for 1999 was 16 percent. |
