re: Less than 1 percent of the U.S. budget goes to foreign aid.
how many countries out there borrow money to give aid?
re: although for more than a decade it was second to Japan
you're forgetting that Japan does not have US military spending and relies on US for defense. Whatever Japan does not spend on military you can add to US's foreign aid sum
re: As a percentage of GNP, however, the top donors were Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, and Sweden
the argument would be very similar to Japan's

BTW how come you missed the budget for 2002? :-))
