Nikki Haley Attacks UN Report on US Poverty

Nikki Haley, the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, said Thursday a U.N. report on poverty within the country was "ridiculous."

"In our country, the president, members of Congress, governors, mayors, and city council members actively engage on poverty issues every day," Haley wrote, in a letter to U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders, an Independent from Vermont. "Compare that to the many countries around the world, whose governments knowingly abuse human rights and cause pain and suffering."

The U.N. report, released earlier this month, highlighted economic inequality and claimed policy pursued by the Trump administration would exacerbate the country's wealth gap, further hurting the poor.

How many trillions has been spent by the govt on the 'War on Poverty' begun by LBJ?

The UN better watch itself.   We are pretty fed up with their act.

Compared to other countries, our poor people live better than poor people in Africa or Europe.

Like the American Left, they don't get it. They never will.
