Here is the fine print of the UN budget 2006-2007, 22% of which will be coming from American taxpayers. A total budget of 3,799 million dollars. "A full assessment on all Member States for 2006" - yes, that's you. "The Secretary-General...is authorized to enter into expenditure of a first tranche, limited to 950 million dollars..." AND "The General Assembly, in order to ensure the availability of resources for programme delivery, will act in response to a request from the Secretary-General, at an appropriate time, for expenditure of the remaining funds."
