President Trump won’t spend $1.86 on this

President Trump may think he knows good deals, but there’s one bargain for Americans he’s really trying to mess up: The United Nations.

The average American pays just $1.86 each year in taxes to cover the United States’ regular budget dues to the UN. In return, Americans get a lot of bang for their buck: The UN makes the U.S. and the world safer, healthier, and more peaceful and prosperous.

 

Based on his latest budget proposal, it looks like President Trump may disagree. But we think it’s a good deal to spend $1.86 so the UN can do its good work…like providing food and assistance to 80 million people, supplying vaccines to nearly half of the world’s children, assisting 65.3 million refugees, and so much more. We’re not kidding, the UN does a lot!

There’s really not a better deal out there for $1.86. Believe us, we checked. In fact, here’s a list of things Americans can buy that cost the same as what they give each year in taxes to the United Nations.
