Proposes Doubling of Aid to Cut Poverty

I can certainly approve the goal of helping cut poverty around the world. I cannot trust the UN to manage or deliver such aid. If the US makes a pledge, it should be for direct aid to the impoverished countries. Feeding more money into the corrupt UN to increase it's budget and fund more high paid bureaucrats is no way to help.
