     Kommentar till en text av JOHN HULL
Ärende: Tsunami Disaster Reli
=============================
Hello John,

>GB>Why is it embarrassing to Americans?

>LL>Because it places us dead last in doling out foreign aid.

>GB>What exactly is "foreign aid"?

>LL>Aid to foreigners.

>GB>Because another country did more as a percentage of their GNP
>GB>than we?

>LL>Because *all* industrialized countries donated more in foreign
>LL>aid than the U.S.  In that category, we rank 21st out of 21.  It
>LL>also place us last among donor nations.  In that category, we
>LL>rank 28th out of 28.

>GB>In the disaster relief.

>LL>In foreign aid, which includes disaster relief.  Since the tsunami
>LL>disaster, the U.S. ranking has improved to 19th out of 21.

>JB>Based upon a ranking system you chose to use to criticize your own
>JB>country.  The ranking system I choose to use is based upon real dolla
>JB>and we are near the top. The sad part of all of this is how slimey th
>JB>left is about this entire subject to politicize a tragedy.  It goes t
>JB>the heart of how scummy and desperate some folks are.

>LL>Europeans contribute over 70 percent of the world's foreign aid.
>LL>Americans lag far behind.

>GB>What exactly makes up foreign aid since you refused to answer when
>GB>worded differently?

>LL>Foreign aid is aid given to foreign countries by a government(s).
>LL>To rephrase, European governments contribute over 70 percent of the
>LL>world's foreign aid.  The American government contributes far less.

JH>Put up or shut up, Lee.  And make sure any numbers you post allow for
JH>any US aid that those countries get.

Sure.  No problem.

The Commitment to Development Index (CDI) 2004
(compares gov't aid and private giving on a daily per person basis)

Country        Government Aid     Private Giving          Total
-------        --------------     --------------    -----------
Australia            14 cents            3 cents       17 cents
Austria              18 cents            2 cents       20 cents

United States        13 cents            5 cents       18 cents

Notice that public giving (government aid) dwarfs private giving,
even in the United States.

Overall, in regards to foreign aid, the CDI ranks the USA 19th out
of 21 for 2004.  That is an improvement from 2003, when the CDI ranked
the USA 21st out of 21.
