Why aren’t people talking about the Global Poverty Act (S. 2433)?

Let’s remember how it came about

Folks, this document cedes our authority and sovereignty on a host of issues and commits us to the treaties in the Millenium Goals... not good at all.

So it is futile to debate from the standpoint of harming the taxpayer. Neither the far left nor the "Christian" right will hear you.

If that argument isn't going to work, for sure this isn't going to work either...

Now, in retrospect we know that welfare destroyed our inner cities, particularly black society, in many ways, chief of which was the monetary rewarding of irresponsible mothers who had children not out of a desire for stable families, but because child rearing was personally profitable to them, provided it was fatherless.

Regardless of whether or not the argument is true, this approach will just infuriate the left with hefty doses of "moral indignation" and the usual charges of racism.

Conservatives know that Sen. Barack Obama has recently introduced the Global Poverty Act, which some commentators have said would bankrupt America by giving an additional 0.7 percent of GDP to Third World governments.

Obama simply wants to continue the Global Welfare programs of Bush-Clinton-Bush.

Lots of graft to be skimmed from giving other people's money away by the gazillions.

In the WSJ a while back there was an article about food aid to countries in Africa. Even if it is distributed to people who need it and not dictator thugs in charge, there is a cost to the farmers in the country trying to make a living. As one black farmer was quoted in the WSJ, “You can’t compete with free.”

Neither are many "conservatives," many of whose pastors have told them that government-enforced socialist wealth sharing (without calling it that) is Christian.

Ah! I think I understand the problem here. We’re simply not taking B.O. at his word. When he says Global Poverty Act he means just that - global poverty!
