So are Americans mistaken that more of their money is given to charity through government sources (eg tax dollars going towrds 7% GDP promised), or are they mistaken in the assumption that private donations to charitable institutions are larger? Surely not all charities are lumped into "government level" for the purposes of this discusison? > And they expressed figures that put the US 22nd on a list of giving per > capita. > Bono actually brought up this point, and Clinton, Wolfowitz and the > other panelists agreed. So, where is the US in _total_ funds given through government level charities rankwise, not per capita, but in amount given? where does the US stack up, then? what about putting that together with private donations? What is the number then? Is there a transcript? Also, lets make no mistake, I _do_ think that the US should meet its committment, I just want to be sure we're clear on the baseline. -- will "If my life weren't funny, it would just be true; and that would just be unacceptable." - Carrie Fisher ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:174283 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
