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.

lmao... so America cares more, because they have a higher population? Now that's some bullshit right there.
Norway >>>>>>>>> America when it comes to this. The End.

no i think hes getting at this.
Yea those countries pay more per citizen, but thats only because they have less citizens. If they paid the same as american citizens, then they wouldnt be giving nearly as much in aid. (somewhere in the millions i dont wanna do the math). But if we as americans were giving $333 per citizen, then we would be giving ALOT of money in "aid"

I guess you don't realize the real world implications that 13 billion dollars is more than 1 billion.
Keep living in your warped little world stinky.

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.
