On your second question, I don't know the answer.

I don't care about "generosity." I think in many cases foreign aid is a waste of money because proper controls and oversights are not put in place. Rather, money is thrown at problems to assuage guilt, rather than to try to make a meaningful difference. Along the same reasons why I'm against the welfare state.
