Unfortunately the dumb ass public can't see what a poor politician she really is if separated from Bill. She comes across as a mean old relative that you would never ever want to have to visit as a child. She never smiles. She has no sense of humor. She doesn't readily attract admirers.

In September, the United States will also be pressured to increase its commitment to the U.N.'s Millennium Development Goals, which call for developed countries to hand over 0.7 percent of their Gross National Product (GNP) to the United Nations to alleviate "extreme poverty." The Goals amount to a U.N.-imposed $75 billion annual tax on the American economy -- an idea embraced by the U.S. and other nations at the International Conference for Financing and Development in Monterrey, Mexico, in March 2002. Apart from their levy on GNP, the U.N. is desperately seeking new streams of financing -- from taxes on airline tickets to currency transactions. The House of Representatives, where "all Bills for raising Revenue shall originate," would do well to investigate these U.N. tax schemes.
