"The Senate overwhelmingly agreed on Monday night to nudge President Donald Trump to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem, a campaign promise that he punted on last week.
The Senate voted 90-0 on a resolution marking the 50th anniversary of Jerusalem's reunification. The measure includes language that "calls upon the president and all United States officials to abide by" a 1995 law that urged then-President Bill Clinton to move the U.S. Embassy to Jerusalem."

This general sentiment you have expressed is why I always question those who espouse broad and amorphous principles like "I don't support Big Government." One person's worthy government expenditure is another person's example of wasteful spending. Somewhat the same thing happens when folk talk about State Rights. For some, that's a big yes when it comes to, say, abortion laws, but a big no when it comes to, say, same-sex marriage. Principles are valid if they are applied consistently, across the board. Talking in the abstract usually is not helpful. The devil is in the details, so that is where the discussion must focus — specifics.

When drowning in red ink, make cuts that will not impact WE THE PEOPLE. The UN has 192 Member States and the tab picked up by The US is 22% of the total operating budget. Now, that makes sense? The UN is a fanciful notion where corruption runs rampant, feel good resolutions are ignored and promises made are regularly violated. Some years back, The US was booted from The UN Human Right's Commission, to be replaced by Sudan, home of Darfur... One can always find an excuse to protect this or that against budget cuts...it would appear you found a rat hole to protect. We are bleeding red ink...cuts can be made or taxes jacked. Pick one...
