If you deduct the foreign aid given to countries that the US is at war with...it drops significantly.

Oh and remeber $600m in foriegn aid was given to Pakistan....anyone remember why?

So if Bill Gates donates $100 million to leukemia research and a poor guy donates $20 the poor guy is more charitable?
