Obama bill: $845 billion more for global poverty

Why is there no debate regarding this bill? It's flying under the radar, every so often you see a blog or a mention of it. Now were supposed to give our taxpayers dollars to the UN to spend how THEY feel they should? Unreal!

Many Americans were alerted to the legislation by a report from Cliff Kincaid at Accuracy in Media. He published a critique asserting that while the Global Poverty Act sounds nice, the adoption could "result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States" and would make levels "of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations."

He said the legislation, if approved, dedicates 0.7 percent of the U.S. gross national product to foreign aid, which over 13 years he said would amount to $845 billion "over and above what the U.S. already spends."
