This really is a waste of time, but anyway... the descriptive text you keep posting is in the introduction of the bill. I asked you to find the "tax" in the bill's text that requires the US to spend additional money towards the bill. Hint: Look for the word "tax" or other words with the same meaning. And oh, this means you'll have to actually read the bill.

Keep looking. I'm sure you'll find something to match your paranoia some day.


You couldn’t find the word tax? Really! You must be a graduate of a government school education.

Under Obama’s bill, the president is required to devise a "comprehensive strategy" to meet the Millennium Development Goal of reducing by one-half the proportion of people worldwide, between 1990 and 2015, who live on less than $1 per day.

The ultimate aim of the Millennium Development project is to have the American Taxpayers submit to the United Nations imposing a tax upon them amounting to 0.7 percent of their GNP In one report a UN panel asserts that membership on the UN Security Council “be required to fulfill international commitments to official development assistance, including the 0.7 target” which is to be imposed upon “rich-countries”

Obama’s bill is designed to legislatively commit the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to “achievement of theMillennium Development Goal

But I guess those pesky little facts mean nothing to those who are very much in favor of enslaving the American People to a United Nations goal of a 0.7 percent tax upon their GNP


What I don’t understand about Obama is, we have children living in Harlem who go to bed hungry at night and Obama wants to allow the UN to tax hardworking fathers living in Harlem, who can barely meet their own economic needs, and then have the U.N. send their paychecks to poor countries, as opposed to the “rich-countries” which Obama agrees ought to be taxed by the U.N.

The only person lacking education around here is you.

The key, my paranoid friend, is to look for words in the text of the bill that actually allocate money. Things like "appropriation" or "spending" or "fiscal year". See, that tells you whether a bill actually requires real money to be spent or not. A "comprehensive strategy" is not a requirement for heavy spending. Duh.

If anything, Obama's Global Poverty Act has no real teeth - it puts our stated agreement with the UN goals into law, but it doesn't specify any conditions, mandates, or spending for actually meeting that goal. This is why the CBO estimates it will only cost a miniscule $1 million a year - because the bill itself is minimal, and would require additional laws passed to allocate more money. A President Obama couldn't allocate $845 billion dollars, even if he wanted to, without passing additional legislation through Congress.

Since you keep re-posting the same drivel with the hope it will prove your ridiculous point, I'll take a page out of your playbook and remind you again:

1) You need to prove that the CBO figures are incorrect. 1 million isn't 845 billion. "WorldNetDaily" or FoxNews talking about "some critics" isn't a more authoritative source than the Congressional Budget Office.
2) You need to find something in the text of the bill that actually mandates the dollar figure you're claiming. Repeating the goal isn't the same thing as actually requiring spending that money.

Of course, there is no chance you will be able to do either of these things, because on the facts, you are simply wrong - but you refuse to leave your paranoid world to admit the truth.

I already laid out the facts and provided documentation. You are free to ignore facts and documentation.
