"Lies, damned lies. And statistics" to be sure. It is also a fact that the the USA's foreign aid, although the largest of any country in dollar terms, is only a portion of what the US pays in foriegn aide. the number two position is not held by another government, its held by the private donations made by the people of the US.
so any argument stating we don't pay as much or enough, is pointless.
