#1 "It simply boggles the imagination that they simply dole out cash without controls,"
If that isn't reason enough to pack up and leave the UN, I don't know what is, considering 1/4 of that money is from US taxpayers. That organization hasn't served any American purpose in a very long time. The UN simply exists as a way for foreign diplomats to leech off America, all the while telling us how awful we are.
BTW - I'll wager the family farm Bans' audits will merely be exercises in whitewashing.

#6 Rather than burden taxpayers for money to imprison theives, would it save money to send them all to the U.N. as executives for aid programs?
