So I keep hearing about how the United States gives less to the poor of the world than does Europe. However, that is not true–by percentage of GDP, the US Government does give less to the poor. However in terms of actual money, we give much more to help end poverty.
Perhaps even more telling is that American citizens give FIFTEEN times more than do our European counterparts. Read about it here…
I guess we are really putting out…not just clamoring about what someone else needs to do.
