During the 2008 presidential campaign, Barack Obama promised to double U.S. spending on foreign aid to $50 billion a year by 2012. But it hasn't happened.

As we did the last time we looked at this promise, we checked the budget figures since Obama entered office. This was a little tricky, since there's no single line item in the budget called "foreign aid." So we chose the the line covering budget authority for "international development and humanitarian assistance."

Keeping consistent with our prior methodology, we're refraining from rating whether Obama reached the $50 billion figure, since we may be using parameters for foreign aid that are different than the administration's. But we do think it's fair to use these budget numbers to rate whether Obama has set the U.S. on a path toward double U.S. foreign aid.

Here are the numbers:

Fiscal year 2008: $19.216 billion
Fiscal year 2009: $20.294 billion
Fiscal year 2010: $25.445 billion
Fiscal year 2011: $22.924 billion
Fiscal year 2012 (estimated): $23.292 billion
Fiscal year 2013 (proposed): $23.709 billion

If you use as a baseline fiscal year 2009, then Obama's proposal for 2013 works out to a boost of roughly 23 percent over four years. That's well short of double what it was when Obama took office. And these totals don't take into account inflation, which reduces the purchasing power of these funding increases.

An increase of 23 percent isn't close to the promised 100 percent increase, so we rate this a Promise Broken.
