Isn’t this a good time to get out of the United Nations?

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!

World Leaders to Discuss Junk Food Ad Ban

So, the UN now wants to take control of how and where ads for "junk" food are shown. Don't these idiots have better things to do? Aren't there millions of starving people somewhere else in the world they should be helping? The UN is a fucking joke. By being a member we are throwing money away that could be used to help out those in need in OUR country!

The UN budget is a little over $2 billion dollars a year. The USA pays 22% of that budget, or $440,000,000.00 per year. With that money alone we could put a HUGE dent in homelessness and starvation right here in OUR country. I say we quit wasting this money, pull out of the UN and let them try and push all this International Law BS on someone else! We have our own problems and I think an extra $440 million a year could help the US in more ways than the UN could ever do!
