We not only fund the UN disproportionately, we do all the heavy lifting.
I agree. It will get tougher and tougher for the State Dept to push funding for it if the budget starts at $0 every year. Starting at $0 for foreign aid is brilliant. It makes it so much easier to say "what do we get for the money".
I just saw in the CNN poll that Perry is steady in the low teens. I think he's weathered the storm of the "oops" and will begin moving up. I think he will do better than expected in IA and will breakout in SC. I think Newt will fade as people remember how many times he has gone against conservatives. The public has seen Cain just doesn't have a grasp of the issues. Perry has experience. He is likeable. His ideas are solid.
