the aid agency Oxfam says in a report. In real terms, the aid budgets of rich countries are half what they were in 1960, the charity claims.Oxfam also says that that poor countries are paying back $100m a day in debt repayments. "As rich countries get richer, they're giving less and less. This is a scandal that must stop," Oxfam director Barbara Stocking said. If the present trends continue, the agency warns that 45 million more children will die needlessly in the next 10 years.
Oxfam says rich countries such as the US, Germany and Japan have broken a pledge made in 1970 to make available 0.7% of their gross national incomes in aid.

Well technically America doesnt have to give shit to anyone, so they should be glad that were giving something.
I'm not talking about individual donations, I'm talking about foreign aid provided by the government. The world's supposed moral authority, the U.S. Government, is the least generous government in the developed world.
once again, governments were formed to protect the people that live within their borders, not shell out money to other people.
Well, if you look at Canada, we're under the rader so we're tryin to cut down our donating to the rest of the world..who cares if Canada doesn't give away its money anywayz
