But may I see the numbers that show that your amount of aid blows up the EU aid alltogether (in Dollars)?
...to criticize the US when the actual dollar amount we give blows your collective dollar amount out of the water.

Am I not seeing the same numbers as everyone else? France and the UK make up approximately the amount of US$ the US gives in aid. This is for a combined population of about 115 million people, compared to 300 million people in the US.

And who exactly decided that percent of GNI is "the thing to look at?"

I was just showing that Europe is much more generous that the US is interms of aid. You need to look at the GNI to see how much it represents for a country. Imagine a poor person who gives 25$ to a charity, and a hugely rich person who gives 25$, the poor one is being more generous being as it represents a larger percentage of his income.
