CNSNews.com) – A U.S. House committee Thursday approved a bill linking U.S. contributions to the United Nations to significant financial and other reforms, one day after Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned she would recommend that President Obama veto the measure if it reaches his desk.

Deeply divided along party lines, the House Foreign Relations Committee voted 23-15 for the U.N.

Somewhere around 200 countries on this planet (give or take a few thousand if you host the ABC Nightly News), and one is "assessed" a quarter of the bills.

Post of the day.

Funny how the GOP never tries this when its in power.

You got that exactly right!

The GOP had six years of both the Senate & the House under a GOP presiden (Rino) GW Bush, but at least they could have tried and sent a bill like this to GW Bush. I am sure that Bush would have vetoed it and more likely it would not have made it out of the Senate with anywhere from 8-12 Rino senators who would have blocked it.... but again they could have re-sent this again & again to the Senate & GW Bush, and they never had the guts to do so.

The US out of the UN and the UN out of the US. I am tired of all those commies with their diplomatic immunity in New York. Send them to Haiti and if they can fix that place we might let them back. Maybe in Compton or Jacksonville North Carolina home of the 2nd Marine Division.
