Theoretically. I thought we were in arrears, unless we paid the bill when it
was in the news a few years back.

22% and at one time we were one billion in arrears. Other major
contributors are Japan (19.63%), Germany (9.82%), France (6.50%), the
United Kingdom (5.57%), Italy (5.09%), Canada (2.57%) and Spain (2.53%).


Special UN programs not included in the regular budget (such as UNICEF,
UNDP, UNHCR, and WFP) are financed by voluntary contributions from member
governments. In 2001, it is estimated that such contributions from the US
will total approximately $1.5 billion. Much of this is in the form of
agricultural commodities donated for afflicted populations, but the
majority is financial contributions.

$1.5 billion? What's that equal to, the amount of money we waste each
minute on our military and private contractors and their continuing
misadventure turning Iraq into a democracy?
