[ The United States' commitment to global development does not look good compared with that of other wealthy countries — and it's likely to get worse. ]
GOOD! I love happy news.

If you add in PRIVATE religious charity —much more efficient than gummint $$— then the USA comes in very close to THE TOP.

And yet these same twits claim that our assistance is tantamount to colonization and ultimately harms people.
Until it becomes an anti-trump anti American rallying cry.

Truth to tell by refusing to play the “Man is dooming the planet.” global warming game the U.S. is actually doing more in real results for development in impoverished countries.

Pity. If it’s that low, then we just ought to throw in the towel completely and give up. I guess it’s so insignificant that they don’t need the money. Is that what they’re saying?

I’m sorry, what is the United States doing funding ANY “development assistance?” I must have missed where any other country provided fledgling America with any. I believe we got where we are mostly on our own. So how is it we owe anybody anything, let alone a bunch of turd-bowl countries that have squandered every cent ever given to them?

Anything worth doing is worth doing right. Since we’re obviously not doing it right....well then, let’s not do it at all.......

To: gattaca
That’s because our government lets our citizens mostly decide on where we donate.
Other countries force donations through government taxes and they decide.
