Barack Obama has sponsered a global bill in the U.S. Senate to be administrated through the U.N. and funded by U.S. taxpayers to the tune of $8,000,000,000.00

Thank God for The American Thinker, we cant count on the media to warn taxpayers about this. The bill states the following:
“To require the President to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the United States foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty, and the achievement of the [U.N.] 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.”
Obamas Opinion (from his wesite):
“With billions of people living on just dollars a day around the world, global poverty remains one of the greatest challenges and tragedies the international community faces,” said Senator Obama. “It must be a priority of American foreign policy to commit to eliminating extreme poverty and ensuring every child has food, shelter, and clean drinking water. As we strive to rebuild America’s standing in the world, this important bill will demonstrate our promise and commitment to those in the developing world. Our commitment to the global economy must extend beyond trade agreements that are more about increasing corporate profits than about helping workers and small farmers everywhere.”
Previously passed in the house, The Senate bill will be up for a vote after the July recess:
Obamas Global TaxBill Coming Soon, by Lee Cary The American Thinker
The Global Poverty Act of 2007 (S.2433) is coming up for a Senate vote sometime after the July 4 recess, according the office of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison. Once Harry Reid and the Democrat leadership put it on the calendar, we could have as little as a week to prepare for the vote. ** The bill is sponsored in the Senate by Barack Obama. If passed, it will cost taxpayers $845,000,000,000 over the next 13 years, in addition to our current foreign aid expenditures.
The Democrat “War on Poverty” hasn’t eliminated poverty in America in over 50 years. What makes them think this bill has a prayer of making worldwide poverty dissapear? More of our money tossed in the toilet to be wasted, or worse, stolen by bureaucrats as it was in the U.N. “Oil for Food” program.
