13.2 * .007 * (10^12) = 92 400 000 000
Looks like that would be 90 billion dollars. Anybody know where we can see how much we spend of foreign aid now?
I think its 20 billion just for Israel and Egypt. I would think that with Iraq we are already over 90 billion.
“Looks like that would be 90 billion dollars.”
Some have put the tab for this bill at $845 billion.

It would be kind of a stretch to count your $90 billion iraq money as part of foreign aid funds destined to fight global poverty. Not impossible, but it would be a stretch...
The biggest problem with this legislation, apart from the underhanded way it’s moving through the process, is that is abrogates US sovereignty and assesses these funds in the name of the UN, to be spent according to UN directives and agreements springing out of the Monterrey conference several years ago.
For my part, get us out of the UN and get the UN out of the US.
We ought to pick a few little pocketable nations with good tourist facilities and spend the money keeping them safe and affordable for American tourists; and screw the rest of the world. They will get over it and shape up once they figure out that there is no free ride. Countries have the choice of governments, economic, and social systems and they pretty much get what they ought to based on the choices they make. Life’s tough in the real world.
