EXCLUSIVE: In its last year in office, the Obama Administration showered at least some $9.2 billion on the United Nations and its sprawling array of organizations, according to a document recently posted on the State Department website.
The total is gleaned from a document that summarizes U.S. government spending for international organizations, and is about 20 per cent higher than the $7.7 billion figure given out by State for 2010, before the Obama Administration abruptly quit providing any overall tally for its U.N. support.
The overall U.S. bill for international organizations of every stripe is just under $10.5 billion, meaning that U.N. organizations absorb about 88 per cent of such U.S. government spending.
The new tally includes nearly $360 million for the controversial United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, or UNRWA, which is regularly accused of inculcating violent anti-Israel attitudes and even abetting terrorist attacks on Israel, which it strongly denies.

Obama...The most expensive mistake America ever made!
Gee, I think I know where Trump can save about 10 billion a year.
Obola got the Nobel prize to increase
the amount of explosives used
for genocide and slavery.
Mission accomplished.
100% of the $9.2 billion was appropriate by a Congress controlled by the GOP.
Series.
Surely such a sum is not paid all at once... President Trump can save some of it?

Doesn’t CONGRESS approve monetary spending?
Congress have dead on their sorry butts for decades when it comes to being responsible.
$7.7 billion figure given out by State for 2010 - was this the $6 billion missing from State Dept?
This year it was 20% higher -
Obama Administration showered at least some $9.2 billion on the United Nations
Exactly. You can’t keep carping about Obama without indicting the Republicans in Congress who were almost totally in league with Obama. As we know, Republicans were masters of making public comments to the base all while giving Obama everything he deigned to ask for.
Obama was the true Manchurian Candidate. Although, he wasn’t working for the Manchurians (USSR).
“As we know, Republicans were masters of making public comments to the base all while giving Obama everything he deigned to ask for.”
We are seeing the duplicity of the Republican Congress play out on Obamacare repeal. The House Republicans voted something like 40 times to repeal it when Harry Reid ran the Senate, knowing Reid would block it. When the GOP won the Senate in 2014, they put a repeal bill on Obama’s desk knowing he would repeal it. Then when the budget process ran its course, they refused to defund Obamacare.
Today where is the repeal? They could have passed the legislation and put it on Trump’s desk to sign day 1. Instead all we have is noise that it may take 2 years. The truth is they don’t want to repeal.
Most Expensive President Ever !
Funding the Globalists ?
scum of the erf tends to congregate,, example.. UN and Dem party.
