Yes. It goes to show you how people can use statistics to distort anything. As a quick anecdotal check of those statistics, let's take a look at the following article. Just a handful of American companies combined far outgave our INITIAL U.S. gov't donation. That demonstrates how misleading those figures are that Tejek posted. forbes.com But then, our gov't upped the aid amount to $350M: usinfo.state.gov Sure doesn't seem like the American people NOR our gov't is stingy at all.
