This bill is that it requires the US to commit to giving .7% of the GDP on top of what we already give to the poor in Africa. I think we do alot and can do more but the problem with ths bill is that it gives control of that money to the United Nations and we all know how corrupt that organization is. I say we coomit to more aid but keep it under our control.
