New Zealand's estimated 2004 GNP is USD$85,340,000,000.
In 2004, after taxes, Americans gave USD$330,000,000,000 of their own money to domestic and foreign charities.
Happy New Year!
I wonder what that will look like next year.
,,, when fiscal deficits are taken into account, NZ and it's total population of four million is in better shape to give more. Hell'n Klark can't comment on that at present as she's cross country skiing over Norway. A $60,000 pay rise enables that sort of holiday.
