The United States also spends more money on whiskey, horse racing, and
prostitution than any other country. And it outspends virtually the entire
rest of the world on drugs, but I'm not sure that you can draw too many
conclusions from any of these facts. Due to the United States' size and
economic might, anything it does tends to swamp all other countries.

I suspect that Tim's comment was that the money came out of his pocket to
provide whatever aid the US is providing, however meager. That was certainly
John's complaint. But in either case, Tim and John are spending far less of
their money on aiding the rest of the world than is either the average
Belgian, Japanese or Saudi Arabian.
