Fortunately, the Administration came out against the Senate move, which could have eventually cost the United States its vote in the international body, and the House did not back it either. So the Senate vote did not lead to an actual reduction in U.S. funds for the United Nations, despite the harsh claims of some, like Sen. Steve Symms (R-Idaho), that "taxpayers are sick and tired...
