"Anyway, so I still think you Yanks are bloody selfish!! Going around the world doing good works, defending freedom and other countries. If you do it all right, you'll get heaps of reward and ego-satisfaction and all good stuff back. Greedy buggers! We don't go and be unselfish just anywhere do we? We pick and choose our unselfishness, being the selfish types we are."

The US is number 21 on a list of nations which report ODA(Official Development Assistance) as a percentage of GNP.
In absolute terms the aid the US gave prior to 2001 was less than that which Japan and France gave.

For the past 3 years it has been higher, in part due to large amounts given to Pakistan after 9/11 and the devaluation of the Yen. More details are available at:

But then again considering the consumer debt being amassed in the US it's understandable that Americans are so miserly when it comes to OAD.
