The USA gives more in international aid than the rest of the world combined

[theking]

...this includes government and private aid. At least this is what was reported today...in response to critism of the thirty-five million that has been provided by the government to assist in the current disaster.

[biskoppen]

It's to compensate for all the things they (you) destroy ;)

Your trailer is on fire !!!!! Go piss on it , fast!

The U.S. government is always near the top in total humanitarian aid dollars -- even before private donations are counted -- but it finishes near the bottom of the list of rich countries when that money is compared to gross national product.

You...to put it simply...are not the sharpest tool in the shed...are you. This link does not alter the "fact" that the USA gives more in international aid than the rest of the world combined.

[iBanker]

Im sick of my tax dollars going to pay for other countries inbred citizens. We got our own people to take care of here. I think its great that we are always the first to foot the bill, just tired of getting shit on for doing it.

Maqybe not the sharpest ... but sharper than you....
Funny how you left out the second part of the phrase, that I posted to show the facts....

More facts:

none of the world's richest countries donated even 1 percent of its gross national product. Norway was highest, at 0.92 percent; the United States was last, at 0.14 percent.

You want to beat the drum of how good the USA are, be prepared for criticism from the SAME article ... LOL....


BY the way, IRAQ has suffered major destruction of infrastructures from electricity to oil pipelines and so on ... but again. probably not the sharpest .....


Go turn in your empties to buy your rubbing alcool.....

[Jer]

I just heard on the news that USA will give 35 million dollars. Japan alone will give 30 million dollars. And 18+ more countries will help too.

The White House also defended the U.S. record of giving.

"We outmatch the contributions of other nations combined; we'll continue to do so," Bush spokesman Trent Duffy told reporters in Crawford, Texas, where the president is spending a post-Christmas vacation at his ranch.

Natsios said the Paris organization's figures overlook a key factor -- the billions more Americans give each year in private donations.

Americans last year gave an estimated $241 billion to charitable causes -- domestic and foreign -- according to a study by Giving USA Foundation. That's up from $234 billion in 2002. The foundation did not break down how much was for domestic causes and how much for foreign.

"That's a European standard, this percentage that's used," Natsios said. "The United States, for 40 years, has never accepted these standards that it should be based on the gross national product. We base it on the actual dollars that we spent."

"The reason is that our gross national product is so enormous. And our growth rates are so much higher than the other wealthy nations."

As I stated...the ariticle does not alter the fact that the United States provides more international aid than the rest of the world combined.

The infrastructure of Iraq was not originally built up to par. The 12 years of neglect by the Iraqi government allowed it to decay even more. There is currently more electricity available...in more locations...than pre invasion. There is currently more drinkable water available...in more locations..than pre invasion. The oil infrastructure was not...and has not been damaged by coaliton forces...but has been damaged to a minor extent by the "insurgents".

The US will end up giving billions.

The UN official who opened his mouth too fast has been reprimanded.

The US is the the #1 bankroller of the UN.

How about the UN officials give back some of the bribe money from oil for food?

To put it in perspective, in the first 24 hours of this awful catastrophe, the US donated a quick $15 Millions, France donated $135,000

It may also be noted that the plane that Israel was to send to Sri Lanka was not accepted, Sri Lanka could not accept a special team of 150 doctors, surgeons and nurses trained for natural disaster since they do not recognize the "Zionist" State, they later accepted some aid from Israel, but no specialized medical team.

It may also be worth noting that the area hardest hit are mostly frequented by Northern European tourists, over 10000 people from the UK, Norway, Sweden, Denmark and the Netherlands are missing. So, it should not come as a surprise that those countries are contributing heavily to the search and rescue effort.

Ignorant, blind or just brainwashed ????? You really think that a check of 15,000,000.00 $US was cut and sent ???? LOL !!!!!!

Since you care to compare with France ( pretty stupid comparaison ...)

FRANCE: Foreign Minister Michel Barnier in Sri Lanka to go to Thailand Wednesday, 100,000 euros earmarked for rescue efforts, 16 rescuers sent to Thailand and 10 tonnes aid to Sri Lanka.

UNITED STATES: Plans to provide an initial $15 million in aid and $100,000 each already released to India, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and Maldives. Three patrol aircraft sent to assess damage.

-- Three U.S. military disaster relief assessment teams, each numbering 10-15 people, departed for Thailand.

-- U.S. Pacific Command to send at least six cargo planes with relief supplies including food, clothing and shelter.

http://yahoo.reuters.com/newsArticle...pag eNumber=2

If you read, you will see PLAN .... Actual USA money sent is $ 400,000.00, far from the [quick[/b] 15 million you claim ... LOL


260.000.00 US for France compare to 400,000.00 $US...

Nothing to brag about... LOL

Of course no check was sent, this is just a pledge.
As far as non monetary aid, the US has made available dozens of transport planes and 3 warships, as well as 700 Marines and countless tons of supplies.
The comparison to France was made as France seems to be the leader in the anti US campaign in the UN.
Also, please note that France was spared compared to Northern European countries, only a few dozen French are missing compared to almost 10000 Northern Europeans, so it is no surprise that France is not participating heavily in the humanitarian help.

They have one aircraft carrier, the Charles de Gaulles, but they had to take it out of the ocean for repair after 4 months in service, seemed like they put the engines bad and it fucked up the transmission, which in an aircraft carrier can be a little problematic to say the least
