:Add to that 7 trillion thecosts of the Global Poverty Act spopnsored by Obama that will commit the US to an additional .7% of GDP approximately $845 billion annually in more foreign aid. The Act also commits the US to the millennium development goals set by the UN which include banning small arms and weapons, ratifying a series of treaties including the International Criminal Court treaty, the Kyoto protocol, the Convention on Biological Diversity.
