worth it?

Report: Trump set to decrease US funding of United Nations

The Trump Administration intends to take a hard-nosed approach to one of the frustrating mysteries left behind by the Obama Administration: Just exactly how much money does the U.S. give to the United Nations, what is the money going for—and is it worth it?

The Administration’s tough strategy is specifically aimed at reducing, rather than eliminating, U.S. support for the world organization and will not affect, at least in the short term, Washington’s current dues-paying commitment to pay 22 per cent of the U.N.’s so-called “regular” budget ($5.6 billion for 2016-2017) and 28.5 percent of its peacekeeping obligations ($7.9 billion) this year.

Good questions to ask. Why should we be funding a global military?

Corruption is about to be drug into the light of day. Prepare for much wailing and gnashing of teeth.

I remember the world hunger conference the UN gave, and they serve caviar and lobster for lunch.

I’d venture a guess that at least 95% of what the UN does with our money is evil. They pay themselves. They pay tyrants and terrorists. They pay for abortion. They fight all wars on the wrongs side. They are a major force supporting Muslim terrorism. They pay money to third world countries encouraging rape and sexual predation. And they give out a little food to keep the tyrants in office and discourage the natives from farming for themselves.

Cut ALL the funding!
