A senior U.N. official said on Tuesday the United Nations might have to delay paying salaries if the United States followed through on its threat to hold up the two-year $3.9 billion budget.
Yippee!!!!

All sounds good to me. The UN can take a hike for all I care. Why finance an organization that is trying to undermine you?
To: ncountylee
As you say, the whole thing is about salaries.
Dump this bunch of useless sullen bureaucrats. Who needs them?

He told a news conference that 75 percent of the world body's costs were salaries and it would have to borrow from peacekeeping funds in a complex operation that would need General Assembly approval.
Until the Winter of 2004, the NHL had a similar structure. We have all seen what that did to the NHL now haven't we?

Create the problems, awready. I'd love to see Kofi frog-walked for shoplifting or driving off before paying
for his gasoline.

I say we pay them a small stipend,and send the U.N. on their way to headquarter in some country that shares their ideals for a democratic world. North Korea comes to mind.

"75 percent of the world body's costs were salaries "
Why am I not surprised. And notice, they're not looking for ways to account for that, but take the money from other areas to maintain the lifestyle to which they've become accustomed.

I've heard New York is an extremely expensive place to live.
Perhaps the UN could move elsewhere...say Zimbabwe?
Or perhaps France?

I wonder what percent of our taxes go to wages.
