Thoughts?

I don't have a problem with it. The UN has been a mess for a long time and not much of a friend to us.

The US contributes over a quarter of the entire UN budget, some 3.3 billion US taxpayer dollars over the last two years, not including the building and related security for the area and dignitaries. This cut is a veritable drop in the bucket compared to the big cut that should be put in place.

I'm not saying the UN is a money laundering organization or that its useless. Well, ok, maybe I am. Glad to see some cuts, not what about our budget?

I like this comment:

This is bad. Pretty soon we will be expecting other countries to finance their own self defense.

Was the amount cut from the entire UN budget or from the amount we pay for the UN? Either way, great job! Now get her working on the federal budget.

I think it's what we pay to the UN. I just as soon we pulled out of the UN and kicked them out of the country. Let them be hosted by France.
