Foreign Aid
https://www.jonathanmilner.org/
Imagine the entire US federal budget is reduced
to 100 beans.
What is the total amount of the US budget?
(give or take a few billion)
What is the total amount of the US budget?
(give or take a few billion)
$3.688 trillion (Fiscal Year 2015)
Let me write that out fully
$3,688,000,000,000
That’s a lot of pizza!
What does foreign aid mean?
What does foreign aid mean?
Government spending on foreign health,
economic development, humanitarian
assistance, and democracy promotion.
Now back to those beans.
How many of those beans do YOU think the US
government invests in foreign aid?
How many of those beans does the AVERAGE
AMERICAN think the US government invests in
foreign aid?
How many of those beans does the AVERAGE
AMERICAN think the US government invests in
foreign aid?
26
How many of those beans DOES the US
government actually invest in foreign aid?
How many of those beans DOES the US
government actually invest in foreign aid?
Less than 1 Bean or 1% of the budget goes to
foreign aid. That translates to about $35 billion.
How close was the average American’s
estimate?
And how close was your estimate?
Foreign aid
And what countries do you imagine get the
most in US foreign aid?
Foreign aid
Foreign aid
But don’t panic
Now, instead of thinking about the portion of
the US budget we invest in foreign aid, let’s
think about how much of the US GDP we invest
in foreign aid.
What does GDP mean?
What does GDP mean?
The broadest measure of a nation's total
economic activity. GDP represents the monetary
value of all goods and services produced within
a nation's geographic borders over a specified
period of time.
So you can do the math and figure this one out,
or you can just guess, or ask Mr. Google.
What portion of US GDP is spent on foreign
aid?
If it helps you can do the bean thing again and
think about out GDP as 100 beans…
Imagine the US GDP is reduced to 100 beans.
What is the total US GDP? (give or take a few
billion)
What is the total US GDP? (give or take a few
billion)
16.77 trillion USD (2013)
DURN!!!!!! We’re rich!
I’m gonna write that out all the way…
$16,770,000,000,000
What portion of our GDP do we spend on
foreign aid?
What portion of our GDP do we spend on
foreign aid?
The average American thought it was 26%.
What portion of our GDP do we spend on
foreign aid?
But in reality, if you combine private aid (Bill
Gates, the local Rotary Club, your parents) and
Government aid it equals, drum roll please...
.33% of GDP also know as 1/3 of 1% of GDP
What portion of our GDP do we spend on
foreign aid?
Here’s a nifty way to visualize that:
Imagine our GDP is 100 beans
Take one bean out, and keep the rest.
Them US
Take that 1 bean and cut it into thirds.
Keep two thirds of the bean, and invest one
third of one bean out of 100 beans. That’s right,
when you combine government aid and private
aid it equals about 1/3 of one bean out of 100
beans. Generous huh? Here’s how it looks
compared to other nations.
Foreign aid
What do you think about all this?
Learning Extension
Check out this great NPR story on foreign aid.
Action Extension
Get 100 beans. Ask the bean question to 10 of
your friends. Have them write down their
answer to what portion of GDP we invest in
foreign aid on a sheet of paper. Take a picture
of them holding that number of beans in one
hand and 1/3 of one bean in another. Post to
Instagram #foreignaid Then contact your US
Representative and share your thoughts.
