Some Facts: -UN budget cut: $285M -UN budget was: $5.4B -Biggest component: health ($1.2B) -US covers 22% -US about 23% of world GDP -US cut uncertain, but if proportional: $62.7M -That's $0.19 per American -Or 1.7% of Wells Fargo's tax cut Not saying good/bad. Adding perspective
My pleasure. UN budget's far from perfectly efficient, so there's an argument for cuts. But a lot does good (e.g. trying to eradicate contagious diseases), so it depends where cuts come from. Unfortunately, much of the commentary seemed wildly off on the scale.
