As a Brit I just get so hacked off with people slagging off the States, if we are talking Aid read history lets start with Hoover that guy invented world aid ,then lets move on to the Marshall Plan, where the hell do you think you got your free NHS from.
America gives more aid than any other country on earth and guess what American consumerisium give lots of the worlds population jobs as well.
As a poor over taxed Brit with a government that has just produced a new twenty pound note that looks just one sign change away from a euro I am here by saying that tommorow I would rip up my citizenship of this stinking septered isle and become the 51st state where although they have got problems they admit it and always try to do better, I will die before I become european America is the last best hope for the world why do you think America is so much more sucessfull than the rest of the world its called freedom and free enterprise and letting you make of your life what you want no class system. and all you lot who slag em off you can only do so for America and one or two other countries who have the balls to defend your rights.
Yours is the politics of envy and you will never defeat America or the free world

The U.S. gave over 27 Billion Dollars in aid last year.
(and that's just the government donations. The individual aid is even higher)
The next highest country is Japan at 13 billion.
NOONE ELSE IS EVEN CLOSE.
Listen to the guy below me

yes it did 'give' aid but it expects the poor countries in debt to pay back the money which will never happen. But due to the intrest the coun treies will get further in debt and its the people in the poor countries that suffer. Hence the campaigns for debt relief.

We give BILLIONS to all countries. Google it and you will see the enormous amounts given. No other country on earth gives more to the rest of the world than the USA

yes, but for the self interests of America, causing the countries to be dependent on America. while America is seen as super-power who gives a kind helping hand, so mainly its self-interests and self-endorsement.

Lots.
snook, who is the UN to give us targets? Let them use their own money.
We pay lots. However, a lot of ours is through private charity, which is just how we do things here.

Hardly any. For the last countless years it has not paid its target donations as required by the UN. That's another reason why I loathe America and all it stands for.
