So you're telling me that...$46 X 293 million is less than $333 x 4.5 million?I guess I'm not that good at math.
Because Americans have the mentality of running things. Kinda like when the rest of the world uses the metric system and America goes "Fuck that, we're using English".I wish the US would stick with the UN. People are saying that we usually have to pay the costs for the UN, but we end up paying them anyways. We might as well pay and have international backing at the same time.
According to your numbers, each US citizen gives 46 dollars per year in "aid"We have 293 million citizens. 293,000,000 multiplied by 46 equals $13,478,000,000. Thats 13 billion dollars.Lets take Norway.According to your Numbers Each citizen of Norway gives $333 dollars per year in "aid"4,500,000 multiplied by 333 equals $1,498,500,000. Thats 1 billion dollars.It's the bottom line that counts, and you're nowhere near the US in total amount given.

Now that's some bullshit right there.Norway >>>>>>>>> America when it comes to this. The End.
Oh God First and foremost, 333 per citizen is not greater than 42. Also, they give more, that's cool, but in the end, most nations actually love us. Many other industral nations don't, but almost every 3rd world nation is very much fans of the United States. When you think of foreign opinion, most news gives you the other big nations, because to us, if you have money, then your worth our time, if not, we can careless. African nations love us, they admire us. Now Bush has a lot to do with the resent negative opinion of us, I mean unjust wars because he wants too, wars that seem to be against another religion, it doesn't look good. But in the end, these country like what we are doing. The sad fact is though, is they followed the food we gave to hungry nations, and it gets to them, but the sad fact is that by the time it is spread out to everybody, it's only a weeks worth of food to last a month or so. What can be done? Instead of just food aid, help in many other ways. Jesus said if you give a man a fish, he eats for a day, you teach a man to fish, he eats for a lifetime. Well, for one, in Africa, we can stop robbing the countries there of diamonds, and all there other resources and start paying the people what they deserve for their work and rocks. Also, we can encourage businesses expand, and open up factories and stuff. I know the world is against sweat shops, and I'm not saying sweat shops, but try to have legit businesses go to these starving nations. Plenty of people will be more than willing to work, and African is rich with resources, so it would be cheaper to make things there, even if you pay the people a fair wage. The U.N. can help too, that's there job. Encourage other wealthy nations to help out, we need a worldwide effort to help out the hungry nations of the world. Not just the U.S., but also not excluding the U.S. The U.N. has done many things to help preserve peace, but we need to find away to help the hungry nations, and the poor children there. After all, most children don't survive to see their 18th birthday, mothers are always burying their children. In a world where someone like Bill Gates baths in a solid gold bath tub, it's unfair that families can't keep babies 'cause they are starving. We need more.
He's done more for the poor than you even realize. Ever heard about the bill and melinda gates foundation? Dude donates BILLIONS every year to charity.
i'm sorry you can call me an ass hole or a heartless cunt,BUT i'm not going to feed and spend 333 bucks out of MY tax money to give to some dirty homeless german dude who probably fucking hates me cuz i'm american.....333 to a homeless dude in IOWA or New Mexico maybe but in my opinion 46 bucks is more than appropriate.

Ah TraumaThe US owes trillions to the UN. So there goes the footing the bill idea. And the US has the most influence on the UN, and the most power ful voice, thus it packs the most powerful gun. Meaning it will always lead the pack militarily.
