How much foreign aid does America hand out annually ?? - GoFuckYourself.com

Scott McD · 08-08-2013, 10:23 AM

There's been a bit of a stink kicked up the past few days in the UK over our own polices. And of course, after an MP described our money being sent to "Bongo bongo land".

"How we can possibly be giving a billion pounds a month, when we're in this sort of debt, to bongo bongo land is completely beyond me,"

wehateporn · 08-11-2013, 02:24 PM

It's normally a scam to pay it to their own companies, the ones who donated to the politicians...an excuse for dirty fingers to enter the tax pot.

Curious, where's Russia on that list?

For that matter where is Iran, N Korea, Saudi Arabia, or any country from S America for that matter?

yes, very curious.

We make it policy to ensure the recipient country hates us before cutting the check. Heaven forbid someone appreciates us.

China is missing also.

We borrow money from China to give to countries that hate us so we can carry the debt and a lower standard of living. I must be too stupid to understand.

Giving = shaming

Struggle4Bucks · 08-11-2013, 04:04 PM

Why not the other list...

you know... "by the amount of money they give as a percentage of their gross national income"...

looks different:

1. Luxembourg ? 1.00%
2. Sweden ? 0.99%
3. Norway ? 0.93%
4. Denmark ? 0.84%
5. Netherlands ? 0.71%
6. United Kingdom ? 0.56%
7. Finland ? 0.53%
8. Ireland ? 0.48%
9. Belgium ? 0.47%
10. France- 0.45%
11. Switzerland ? 0.45%
12. Germany ? 0.38%
13. Australia ? 0.36%
14. Canada ? 0.32%
15. Austria ? 0.28%
16. New Zealand ? 0.28%
17. Portugal ? 0.27%
18. Iceland ? 0.22%

21. Spain ? 0.15%
22. South Korea ? 0.14%
23. Italy ? 0.13%
24. Greece ? 0.13%

Struggle4Bucks · 08-11-2013, 04:08 PM

If there were all Luxembourgers living in the U.S. the United States would give 150billion aid... Now only 30 billion

Would you rather have 1% of the income of a guy making $10 million a year or .20% of a guy making a billion a year? Percentages don't matter.

In the first list it shows America as a loving caring nation that gives a lot of money. In the second list there you have the nuance...

Americans pay less aid then people in bankrupt countries like portugal and iceland...

British Foreign Aid is to bribe and to pay to our own companies, it needs to be stopped

We borrow money from them then give them free aid.

SilentKnight · 08-11-2013, 07:18 PM

Our infrastructure is falling apart across the nation - yet Canada gives away $5.6 billion in foreign aid to countries that show their appreciation by sending us their worthless refugee immigrants - adding a greater burden to our welfare and healthcare programs.

Actually, what both lists fail to show is the amounts of private overseas charity that is given VOLUNTARILY by people, as apposed to taken from them in taxes and then given by their governments.... and in that, the average person in the US gives 9 TIMES MORE than the average European....

Note that this is a totally different set of figures from which GOVERNMENTS take their people's money from them by force and then give it away, in that list the US doesn't rank very high as struggle4bucks points out....

This is instead the money that people actually give freely on their own.

.

" No developed country approaches American giving. For example, in 1995 (the most recent year for which data are available), Americans gave, per capita, three and a half times as much to causes and charities as the French, seven times as much as the Germans, and 14 times as much as the Italians. Similarly, in 1998, Americans were 15 percent more likely to volunteer their time than the Dutch, 21 percent more likely than the Swiss, and 32 percent more likely than the Germans. These differences are not attributable to demographic characteristics such as education, income, age, sex, or marital status. On the contrary, if we look at two people who are identical in all these ways except that one is European and the other American, the probability is still far lower that the European will volunteer than the American."
