Consider:
* we give monetary aid to other countries (not bad for a country in debt)
* we give food aid to other countries
* We've saved other countries in war time (Iraq being debatable, so let's just say every country prior to the year 2000)
* American corporations give out jobs overseas
* our government gives monetary aid ("government subsidy", tax breaks, and bailouts) to banks and large corporations
* American citizens pay far more for drug costs than people in other parts of the world. We, in effect, subsidize the cost differential
* America has strict environmental regulations for manufacturing and automobiles (more the former, but President Obama did introduce "Cash for Clunkers" to get low MPG wasteful garbage off our roads and people took advantage of it. Obama's predecessor encouraged wasteful SUVs to be purchased.)
I could go on for a time far longer than most would appreciate.
Quite the contrary, after looking at the basic issues to address a basic question, America seems to be doing far more good.

No and not even close.
The U.S.A. gives out more in aid to the third world countries that the rest of the countries combined.
Does it pollute? Yes but not and much and the so called "experts" want to have you believe.

If you could back up or explain what you see our government is doing, we could give you a reasonable answer.
