Is The U.N. Running Out Of Money?

According to the U.N. Chief, Antonio Guterres, the organization is running out of money thanks to delayed contributions from members.

U.N. officials recently urged member states to pay their contributions that are still owing. If they don't start paying, he warns that they could see a cash shortage like they've never seen before. It's estimated that there are still dozens of member states who have yet to pay their annual assessments, but this isn't unusual.

They are still waiting on their biggest payment which will be coming from the United States and allegedly accounts for roughly 22 percent of their entire budget.

This scenario has happened before, with many states lagging behind on their payments well into the year.

Hundreds of billions have been fueled toward this organization over the years, and you might have wondered what good has been achieved with all of that money? Has it been worth it?

U.N. Officials have insisted that they are going to be looking for ways to reduce spending and cut back on their expenses, along with waiting for those outstanding tabs to be paid.

Wasteful spending tactics have previously been exposed by those who've worked for the U.N., and allegations have been made that the organization has been untruthful in their financial reporting and they've neglected to be forthcoming about where the money is going.

Previous reports have disclosed that the organization has spent hundreds of millions of dollars on travel costs alone, with thousands of their workers flying business class, or first class, all on the taxpayers dime; which they had no say over.

No one should be forced to fund this organization.

And it would likely be better for the cause of liberty if the organization were peacefully dissolved completely.
