US taxpayer dollars given to the UN can be spent redecorating dictators' homes. There is no system for punishment or repayment to US citizens. Accordingly, Obama now pushes for more of this.

"Commissioner Zakheim, a former Pentagon controller, asked Gambatesa whether the agencies
- have immunity
- "if they siphon (their U.S. grants) all off into Swiss banks? Is that accurate?
- They will be totally immune,
- no matter what they do with the money?"
- "My understanding is, yes," Gambatesa replied."...

.
"Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, will argue in a major address Friday evening that the nation should
- “strengthen” — not “starve” — the world body.
The address is the first in a series of speeches — to continue this spring — making the case to the American people for why the U.N. matters to national security, and detailing how it is being improved. The ambassador will be speaking to the
- World Affairs Council of Oregon in Portland.
“The U.N. provides a real return on our tax dollars by bringing 192 countries together to share the cost of providing stability, vital aid and hope in the world’s most broken places,”
- Rice said in prepared remarks."....
