Tax day is approaching and those of you who still owe Uncle Sam money had better send it in. That’s because the free spending Bush administration has teamed up with the pork dispensers on Capitol Hill to send more of our money to the corrupt regime at the United Nations.
The UN is embarking on a multi-billion construction project and the timing could not be better for those who like to waste taxpayer dollars. Liberals have taken over the Appropriations Committees on Capitol Hill, and John Bolton -- the most effective UN watchdog ever -- is out of the picture. In addition, the UN's top fiscal office, which used to be managed by a qualified American, is now being run by a Mexican biologist with no financial management experience.
The project is the renovation of the United Nations headquarters in New York City and the building is a metaphor for the UN itself. It is outdated, falling apart, and no longer useful. It has never had a major renovation, is full of asbestos, and is energy inefficient. And while it won’t pass a fire inspection, it is one of the only buildings in New York where smokers are still allowed to light up.
