“Proponents say this would allow the U.S. and other member states to fund only those activities and agencies it regards as being efficiently managed, and in the national interest.” National interest? well, that should eliminate all funding:)

American taxpayers account for 22 percent of the U.N.s regular operating budget and 27 percent of the separate peacekeeping budget in assessed dues. In addition the U.S. provides billions of dollars in voluntary contributions for various U.N. agencies. In FY 2010 the total U.S. contribution was $7.69 billion.
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. Sounds a lot like the current American tax system, where the few are paying for the many.
"Assessed". How many of those doing the assessing owe us money or take billions in our foreign aid dollars?

I personally wouldn’t accept anything less than total elimination of the United Nations. It’s strictly a tool of the Marxist Left, and has been since its beginning.

Hillary said Obama would veto it. However, got to love some of our Fla Republicans...”The bills author, committee chairwoman Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-FLA.), told Thursdays markup hearing that the U.N. budget continues to climb.
What are we paying for? she asked, then cited repressive regimes membership on the Human Rights Council, a continuing anti-Israel bias, the elevation of member states like North Korea and Iran to leadership positions in various bodies, and corruption scandals.

I think we need the UN to go find another country to house their bedbug infested offices.

Does it need a law, which requires 0bama’s signature for it, or a no budget allocation would be enough to do so?

What? Make fat-ass secretariate workers look for real jobs? They’re liable to make trouble, or at least form a committee to examine ways and means of making trouble. They might even join Occupy Wall Street and get run over by scooters and scream a lot, until their diplomatic immunity is revoked.

Every country should pay the exact same amount to the UN - NOTHING! Screw the UN. Move it to the South Pole and let them party there.

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.
