The bill, formerly HR.1302, has passed the House and will soon hit the floor of the senate as S.2433.
A brief summation: the United States has to end world poverty. 7% of our GDP has to be allocated to this end.
I really hope this goes to the senate floor before the election. It will slide right on through if it’s after the election and Hussein wins.
If the republicans cannot make a big issue out of this and use it to defeat Hussein Obama, they deserve to lose. Hussein’s Global WELFARE PROGRAM should be a winner for the republicans.
Yes. Only the actual figure is .7% Mea culpa.

The usual suspects...
IOW The usual suspects.
Since the 1960’s, the taxpayers of the USA has spent untold $ billions (or is it trillions) to wipe out poverty in the US. Not only has the spending utterly fail to end the poverty, it has made the situation much worst (as in welfare by the generation).
So now the plan is wipe out the world’s poverty? Typical mush-brain Liberal thinking. Let’s just spend more money on a failed concept and it will be fixed —NOT!!
This is a plan backed by Obama and the Democrats to take literally trillions of dollars from US taxpayers and give some to the Democrat’s friends and give some to corrupt, brutal third world dictator thugs like Mugabe in Zimbabwe and others. The American people need to be told how disastrous this would be.
Just how are the RATS going to do that after they bankrupt the nation? You can bet Pelosi et al will be fleeing the country with their fortunes in hand, although in a sense they already have their fortunes is safe places.
Let’s play the liberal game: Congress is taking food from the mouths of American children and giving it to third world dictators.

It's not a game. It's already happening now and has been since we first started trying to end world poverty. The dictators grin while their people starve.
Want to reduce poverty? Spread freedom.
