What could go wrong?

This evening at a parish I went to at the end of Mass they passed around letters to be signed to go to our to Senators in support of the Global Poverty Act. The Senate Bill was introduced by U.S. Senators Barack Obama (D-IL), Chuck Hagel (R-NE) and Maria Cantwell (D-WA).  Reading through the bill it sounds like another boondoggle in support of the The United Nations Millennium Development Goals which will be just as ineffective and wasteful as President Johnson's "War on Poverty."  The bill mentions HIV/AIDS and prevention several times and since abstinence and faithfulness are free you can easily imagine how the money would be directed towards condoms and "reproductive health."  Especially since part of the The United Nations Millennium Development Goals  includes the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) which is cover for abortion rights.

I just don't see how further funneling our money via the bureaucracies of our government and the United Nations is going to be all that effective in reducing poverty other than filling the pockets of bureaucrats.  Remember the U.N. Oil for Food program and how that money ended in so many peoples accounts while food was not delivered to Iraq?
