Our taxes.....
Obama is already co-sponsoring the Global Poverty Act which would give $800 Billion to the United Nations to fight poverty in every country except the good old USA.
He talks about money being thrown away in Iraq but then turns around and wants to give money to the UN. More double talk from Obama.

You isolationists totally miss the point of money we spend over seas. And believe it or not, we get good returns on our money in many ways. Not always as soon as we like, but we are planting seeds for there/our future. We would have plenty of money for our infrastructure if the US government would get out of the social business here. We spend WAY to much money on ridiculous programs right here.

At the rate things are going with this project, it's useful life will be shorter than the time it took to construct it. Some deal for 14.8 billion, eh? Our "beloved" senator John Kerry said it's a bargain.

We build plenty of pointless, expensive crap right here at home. Have you ever heard of the "Big Dig" here in MA? It's a pretty good example of pointless and expensive crap. It wasn't something that Boston needed, they just wanted it.
