Measured another way, as a percentage of gross national product, the OECD's figures on development aid show that as of April, 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.

Such figures were what prompted Jan Egeland -- the United Nations' emergency relief coordinator and former head of the Norwegian Red Cross -- to challenge the giving of rich nations.

"We were more generous when we were less rich, many of the rich countries," Egeland said. "And it is beyond me, why are we so stingy, really.... Even Christmas time should remind many Western countries at least how rich we have become."

Egeland told reporters Tuesday his complaint wasn't directed at any nation in particular.

But Secretary of State Colin Powell clearly took umbrage while making the rounds of the morning television news shows. He said he wished Egeland hadn't made the comment and reaffirmed that the Bush administration will follow up with assistance that could stretch into the billions of dollars.

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."

Bottom line fact...1% of $1,000,000 is more money than 5%of $100,000 and since the US has...by far the largest GNP on the earth...simple math works out well. Per Capita means shit when it comes to total dollars...now doesn't it?

Using your donations per person numbers and Yahoo's world fact book
it seems the US still donates more.. However I think this method is flawed and I don't think it shows an accurate amount but assuming your numbers are correct it should be close..

United States $23.76 x 275,562,673 (est population) = $6,547,369,110.48

France $104.76 x 59,329,691 (est population) = $6,215,378,429.16

3. Denmark $302.72 x 5,336,394 (est population) = $1,615,433,191.68
2. Norway $307.95 x 4,481,162 (est population) = $1,379,973,837.90
1. Luxembourg $352.30 x 437,389 (est population) = $154,092,144.70

I beleive in the count...when one contributes 1% of $1,000,000...the count is easy...it is more than 5% of $100,000. So the USA gives less per capita but the dollar count is still higher than the other nations combined. So who would you want to recieve aid from the USA or the other nations.

Your quote just covers one area of aid provided by the USA and that provided by the government...which does not include private aid.

Quote:

The United States uses the most common measure of the Paris-based Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, a group of 30 rich nations that counts development aid.

By that measure, the United States spent almost $15.8 billion for "official development assistance" to developing countries in 2003. Next closest was Japan, at $8.9 billion.

That doesn't include billions more the United States spends in other areas such as AIDS and HIV programs and other U.N. assistance.

Seriously Chichio... I sure don't feel like that about the US or anywhere. Some shit ya may not agree with (same as any country), but I am well-aware of plenty good stuff done by the US or people/orgs there.

I can't say if I am "common" in thinking this, but it does appear there is an enormous sensitivity to anything "nationalistic" - It may just be some kinda different culture or something, but never actually saw this in any US people I've met or work with, - only on GFY :-)

Again... tis only me, but I don't expect any one country to do loads of shit for the world. If anything, I think the days of "countries" have gone - it's people who make a change/difference and it does not matter where they come from.

All this crap about countries giving more to Asia at the moment - it's not real cos nobody knows the extent of the damage. Whenever that is known (and I'm sure it's going to take some time yet!), loads of countries will be helping, - including the US. This may turn out to be the largest disaster in our lifetimes and I can't see anyone turning away. To make this some political point, as in threads, it's just beneath contempt - folks are still dying there and need help urgently.

I don't understand what is enough and not enough aid. Why does giving a country's money away have to be a competition between countries. If any money is given it should be thought of as "great." But, this country has only given this and that country has only given that - fucking stupid shit this world has come to.

If any money is given it should be thought of as "great." But, this country has only given this and that country has only given that - fucking stupid shit this world has come to. __________________ ADULT DATE LINK If You Have Traffic, we can make you $$$.

Can't believe the US is at the bottom of that "giving" rate with .15 and even Italy is higher at .17! In fact, based on GNI, the US is right at the bottom of all OCED member countries. __________________ XXX TLD's - Another mosquito to swat.

These are the same people that blamed Bill Gates for not giving enough of his money away when he was giving way 100's of millions. If a country is the largest donator of money give them some fucking credit. __________________ ADULT DATE LINK If You Have Traffic, we can make you $$$. Great Conversion Ratio from a Trusted Company.
