UN Doesn't Feel Pain: Despite Sequester Cuts, U.S. Boosts UN Funding...

Even as the mandated sequester bites into U.S. federal spending -- and newly appointed Secretary of State John Kerry boasts that he is cutting his budget by 6 percent -- the State Department is planning to boost spending on the United Nations in 2014 by more than 4 percent to at least $3.6 billion.

That is likely to be far from the final tally of Obama Administration support, as hundreds of millions of dollars in U.S. development, health and other funds are usually channeled through U.N. agencies and institutions -- with the U.N. agencies taking administrative fees as part of the deal.

Of course there's more money for the UN. Obama and Panetta already said that the Military serves the UN.

I'll bet you don't even know that a few of your Supreme Court Justices say it's ok to apply International Law to US Territory. International Law: UN Law and Treaties.

Soon we'll replace your Constitution.
