If Senator Barack Obama has his way, U.S. taxpayers could very well be
committed to spending $0.85 trillion (or approximately $8500.00 per household)
-- much of it going to third world dictators and despots that hate America --
under the guise of fighting "global poverty."
In the 1960's President Lyndon Johnson declared a War
on Poverty. Now, thirty years later, not content with a
failure to eradicate poverty on a national scale, Senator
Obama and other liberals in the Senate want to duplicate
that failure on a global scale !
Of course we're talking about Obama's so-called Global Poverty Act (S. 2433),
which according to some conservative sources, would commit all of us to a
stealth United Nations-inspired global tax of $845 billion over a 13-year
period -- that's on top of the $300 billion per year the United States already
shells out in foreign aid.
When we first alerted you and our CFIF members and activists
to the Global Poverty Act, it was literally flying under the radar.
In fact, the House of Representatives actually passed the bill on a voice vote
because many Members simply weren't paying attention.
