U.N. Dictates Americans Will Pay Over One-Fifth of Their Budget

Thank God for small favors!  The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution that ALLOWS the United States to pay for over a fifth of its budget.  Isn’t that wonderful?  I’m glad we had a say in this matter.  After all, it’s not like we’re a sovereign nation, or anything. 

The U.N. must be taking cues from the Obama administration.   His administration has deftly pointed out Congress is just window dressing for his monarchial decrees.  Everyone knows the American people can be taken advantage of, except of course, the American people.
 
(CNSNews.com) – In one of its last actions of the year, the United Nations General Assembly on Christmas Eve agreed to extend for another three years the formula that has U.S. taxpayers contributing more than one-fifth of the world body’s regular budget.

No member-state called for a recorded vote, and the resolution confirming the contributions that each country will make for the 2013-2015 period was summarily adopted. The assembly also approved a two-year U.N. budget of $5.4 billion.

The U.S. has accounted for 22 percent of the total regular budget every year since 2000, and will now continue to do so for the next three years.

The U.S. representative for U.N. management and reform, Joseph Torsella, expressed satisfaction that the U.S. contribution had not been raised above that level.

I wonder if Mr. Torsella expressed his satisfaction before or after he licked the U.N.’s boots.
