Rightoids online are seething over a fake graph that claims USAID pays Somalia 40 percent of its GDP

USAID was 40% of total aid going to Somalia, not 40% of Somali GDP. They misread it and are seething lol

I think it’s closer to 10% based on Somalias GNI and foreign aid figures. 40% is a joke.

Somalias GDP hasn’t been updated since 1991 so it’s more like 1 percent.

There’s this belief in America that foreign aid is like 40 percent of the budget which is retarded.
