As part of its assessed contribution to the U.N. budget, the United States will supply 22 percent of that repayment figure - $265 million on the principal alone.

good grief...get out..get out now.

While I detest the U.N., as long as it is seen by some to be a legitimate organization, getting out would be a bad idea. As long as we're there and hold a seat on the Security Council, we can veto any B.S. that they try to slip through. I can just imagine what the U.N. would try to do without the U.S. creating international gridlock.

Besides, a large amount if not all of the money for renovations/construction will probably end up going to U.S. companies and provide jobs to U.S. construction workers.

The world body must agree to accept the 5.54 percent interest rate. Interest and principal is to be paid off by all member states.

Since 'all member states' = mainly USA, when it comes to forking over money, they will be using US taxpayer's money to pay off this 'loan'. Good grief indeed!

I have a better idea. Let's just offer to pay the entire cost for design and construction of a brand new UN building -- as long as it's located in Geneva!!
