U.S.A. to give away even more money?

Hagel passage of the "Global Poverty Act"

obama The government is giving away even more money!!! The Global Poverty Act just passed. It is sponsored by Barack Obama. Now, yesterday so you know, Barack Obama said, and I quote, ***it's time to stop spending billions of dollars a week trying to put Iraq back together and start spending the money on putting America back together.*** Got it? He wants to put America back together. That's why he proposed $210 billion yesterday to create jobs, $210 billion to create jobs. That, by the way, is a 2, a 1 followed by 10 zeroes. He wants $150 billion to create 5 million green collar jobs to do things for the environment. $150 billion, green collar jobs.

Senator Biden trying to rush the Global Poverty Act through his committee, got it done. Now, if it passes -- it already has passed the House mainly because people didn't read it. If it passes now in the Senate, it will commit the United States to spending .7% of our gross national product on foreign aid, which will amount to a phenomenal $845 billion over what we already spend on foreign aid. But here's the great thing. It doesn't commit it to -- we're not committing to ourselves. We're committing to the United Nations. The United Nations will take the .7% of our GDP and -- wait a minute. That's kind of sounds like -- a poverty act. That almost sounds like a global tax. A release from Obama's Senate office says *** the U.S. joined more than 180 countries with the United Nations Millennium Summit and vowed to reduce global poverty by 2015. But we're halfway there and it's time the United States makes this a priority, to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective in promoting the reduction of global poverty. *** (...)  www.glennbeck.com
