it's all relative. Just throwing a lot of money at something doesn't guarantee a solution, nor does it promise to help any more efficiently than a smaller amount. A sufficient donation from a country with a smaller economy and/or population will have a greater burden on that country than from the US, which has one of the largest economies in the world (if not THE larges). It's all in how you spin the numbers...
