The UN budget is around $2 billion dollars a year. The USA pays 22% of that budget, or approximately $440,000,000.00 per year.
How much money did the United Nations Development Program spend to create 5,280 "green" jobs around the world?
The United Nations Development Program, the U.N.'s flagship anti-poverty agency, has created 5,280 “green” jobs at the cost of $53.9 million. That’s an average of $10,208 per job spent in 2010 on 135 environmental projects world-wide.
But it now seems that Fox News has uncovered a document that the UNDP actually spent about $1.68 billion to create those 5,280 jobs, which would work out to a much more staggering average figure of about $288,700 per job.
With the economic situation we have today can we really afford to be shelling out that kind of money for nothing in return? I think that with $1.68 billion dollars our current government could have at least produced more than 5,280 “green” jobs. Really, the $440 million we give to the UN each year could be used in better ways than to help finance crap like that!
