We gave more money in foreign aid and humanitarian assistance to nations who hate us than all the other nations of the world combined.

If you exclude Israel, Iraq and Afghanistan, japan actually gives more foreign aid than we do.

hmmmm...do you happen to know what the price of tea is in China? Just wondering, since here in the States, apples and oranges are priced differently.

Not necessarily.

Aid can come in the form of many packages. Canceling billions of dollars of debt, funding the United Nations, Bush's $15 billion to Africa for HIV, direct assistance programs to many nations, . . .

Add it ALL up and it is far more than what many say. This crap about the U.S. spending .13 of its GDP versus other nations spending .20 is bogus. They are ferrring to ONE program. Most nations have one major foreign aid program. The U.S. has more aid programs than the U.N. has members.
