Just when I gave up hope. The U. N. needs to be audited and when it is shown they waste money we give them we should cease all funding.

That sounds like good news but the GOP usually caves.

I would go a lot further.

Not only would I defund the UN completely, I would also resign from the UN as a country and then give the remaining occupants thirty days to move to another country.

Let the UN see if they can solve the world’s problems without us and our money.

Good place to start trimming the fat from this hog. I approve.

The U.S. contributes more to the UN than any other country -- 22 percent of the regular UN budget and 27 percent of the peacekeeping budget.

Time for other countries, like China, to take on more of the burden.

Here's a thought: Since we own the building and the land at the UN building, how about having that our contribution and the rest of the world put up the rest of the money. Or at the least charge them a heavy rent every month.

Defund now - no audit needed.

Spending originates in the house, so all they need to do is not allow it to start.

Move it to North Korea, and let China and Saudi Arabia fund it.

And appoint Obama to be King of the UN, right after we drop out of the damned thing.

Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

Hmm
Interesting. Though I do wonder what will happen if this does pass.

History hints that while international bodies do erode sovereignty, they do serve as a brake to those looking to start major wars.
