What`s your take on Obama`s $845 BILLION Global Poverty Act?

Postby johnwk on 09/21/08, 8:56 pm

The bill would require our president "to develop and implement a comprehensive strategy to further the U.S. foreign policy objective of promoting the reduction of global poverty, the elimination of extreme global poverty and the achievement of 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 bill would commit U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7% of our gross domestic product on foreign handouts above what we already contribute around the globe.

NOTE:
This figure of 0.7% was codifed in a United Nations General Assembly Resolution and states:


In recognition of the special importance of the role which can be fulfilled only by official development assistance, a major part of financial resource transfers to the developing countries should be provided in the form of official development assistance. Each economically advanced country will progressively increase its official development assistance to the developing countries and will exert its best efforts to reach a minimum net amount of 0.7 per cent of its gross national product at market prices by the middle of the Decade


But the real frightening part of the bill is its "Millennium Development Goal" which is also mentioned in a declaration adopted by the United Nations Millennium Assembly and Summit in 2000 that called for the "eradication of poverty" by "redistribution (of) wealth and land," cancellation of "the debts of developing countries" and "a fair distribution of the earth's resources" i.e. from each [meaning the U.S. Taxpayer] according to their means, to each [meaning the rest of the world] according to their needs.

Keep in mind this is Obama’s plan, and it would enslave the American Taxpayer to third world nations, and it is also supported by his running mate Biden! Do we really want these World Class Marxists in charge of our government?


Calendar No. 718
110th CONGRESS

If we can make 51 percent of America’s population dependent upon a federal government check, we can then buy their vote, keep ourselves in power and keep the remaining portion of America’s working population enslaved to pay the bills ____ our Marxist Democrat Party’s game plan, a plan to establish a federal plantation on American soil and send its wealth abroad.

What is Obama's brother living on?  

I am not inclined to reduce us to third world conditions with the goal of what?  What is the goal exactly.  Improve third world conditions with handouts.  Well, hasn't THAT worked well in the past?   No HOPE for any CHANGE here.   Another UN attempt to get the money (and guns) out of the hands of americans and into the hands of our enemies.    This time with the open support of the democrat candidate for president and his flunkie...i mean vice president running mate.

Even the RATS are not stupid enough to even bring this up for a vote after the financial meltdown.


Ain't gonna happen.

That's what Obama intends to "change" if he is elected!

From the text of the bill


(9) At the summit of the Group of Eight (G-8) nations in July 2005, leaders from all eight participating countries committed to increase aid to Africa from the current $25,000,000,000 annually to $50,000,000,000 by 2010, and to cancel 100 percent of the debt obligations owed to the World Bank, African Development Bank, and International Monetary Fund by 18 of the world's poorest nations.

(10) At the United Nations World Summit in September 2005, the United States joined more than 180 other governments in reiterating their commitment to achieve the United Nations Millennium Development Goals by 2015.

oh i see.  there was really no need for Obama to help his brother himself.  He was co-sponsoring a bill that would require that American voters HELP his brother with THEIR money.
