But may I see the numbers that show that your amount of aid blows up the EU aid alltogether (in Dollars)?
You ask why the economic potence of a country is considered as basis? Is that so hard to find out? The more powerfull your economy is the easier you can spend some aid.

Well I did throw in the "assuming these numbers are correct" to cover my ass. This guy and I are not debating the actual numbers at this point, but more of the "how you measure generosity" aspect. He says that if someone gives a gabillion dollars and they make a million gabillion dollars a year, they are not really being generous.
