Obama's $845 billion U.N. plan forwarded to U.S. Senate floor

The U.S. Senate soon could be debating whether you, your spouse and each of your children – as well as your in-laws, parents, grandparents, neighbors and everyone else in America – each will be spending $2,500 or more to reduce poverty around the world.

The plan sponsored by Sen. Barack Obama, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the office of president, is estimated to cost the United States some $845 billion over the coming few years in an effort to raise the standard of living around the globe.

S.2433 already has been approved in one form by the U.S. House of Representatives, and now has been placed on the Senate Legislative Calendar for pending debate.

WND previously has reported the proposal demands the president develop "and implement" a policy to "cut extreme global poverty in half by 2015 through aid, trade, debt relief" and other programs.

Cliff Kincaid at Accuracy in Media has published a critique asserting that while the Global Poverty Act sounds nice, the adoption could "result in the imposition of a global tax on the United States" and would make levels "of U.S. foreign aid spending subservient to the dictates of the United Nations."

BTTT.

Not only is there no provision in the Constitution to do this, there really isn't one to do so here at home. Besides that, we have plenty of poor people here (not counting those here illegally and on the government teat).

Looked through my copy of the United States Constitution to find the place where the president is empowered to impose a tax on American citizens to stroke himself with a case of the warm fuzzies by feeding the entire planet; couldn’t find it.

They all agree on this spending, and dare anyone not pay taxes because it is not in the United States Constitution...

There was something calculated behind his comment the other day of his “the next 8 to 10 years” presidential term. Is he ignorant or does he have other plans?

This sickens me. Our economy is in the toilet, the Dims won't let us drill to ease the burden on our own poor and suffering, and our national security is in jeopardy because there is no Northern or Southern wall - and he panders to the world?

I don't much care what the UN thinks of us because I think they are an evil, hypocritical, unnecessary and dangerous organization. And our citizens have done so much to help the poor and suffering around the globe that if others don't know that by now - shame on them. Really. Since I'm not a Socialist, I believe taking care of the poor (starting right here at home, btw) should be done my private groups and individuals - not the government spending our money in ways that don't benefit us and without our consent.

I hate these “One World” geeks such as Bush 41, Clinton and Obama.

I will never vote for anyone again that approves this bill.

I DON’T want to raise the standard of living elsewhere in the world. This is America. We need to raise the standard of living HERE. The government needs to take LESS of our money and interfere less with our lives. Those who want to advance themselve should not be held back by the leeches of society and government.
Americans work hard for their money. It shouldn’t be given away by so-called leaders who want to impress the UN.

Obama's $845 billion U.N. plan forwarded to U.S. Senate floor
your in-laws, parents, grandparents, neighbors and everyone else in America –
each will be spending $2,500 or more to reduce poverty around the world.

That will only be enuf at the beginning. Eventually, as the spending approaches $40,000 per year per American,
Americans will be forced by the UN to give up their homes (for the illegal aliens continuing to take over America),
and in return, all native Americans will be sent to concentration camps run by the UN and Obama's "New American Civilian military police"
in their shiny robin-blue hats.

Anyone bother to actually read the legislation? It's like any other POS coming out of Congress these days, long on rhetoric and short on specifics. It doesn't look like it commits us to anything more than what President Bush has already done.

Billions to be allocated to raise the standard of living of a tiny number of kleptocrats and UN officials and probably Algore and, of course Hussein O’Bama.
