Here is a question for discussion within the group.
There is lots of discussion right now, and a recently proposed bill that seeks to remove the US from the UN and remove all US funding. At first thought I was and have been all for this. But after reading some other folks thoughts on this, I have some question about going that exact route. Here is some stuff from the other side of things.
1) The US has Veto power over anything going thru the UN. Do we really want to give that up?
2) If we no longer have that power, the other countries will hammer us worse than they already try. We are seriously outnumbered and without Veto, no chance to stop anything. And that includes any support of Isreal.
3)
4) On the plus side, lots more parking in NYC where al the UN losers are booted out.
5) A prime piece of real estate comes open
6) Save billions of dollars in payments to the UN and all the sorry ass programs they support.
Here is my thoughts, Stay in the UN and keep Veto power. Seriously reduce the funding we give and stop all funds to particular programs completely.
What say you?
