The spending blowout known as the Big Beautiful Bill may push us further along the pathway to fiscal collapse, but at least there is this:

[W]ith the Trump administration dead set on yanking most US funding to the United Nations, the world body is being forced to adapt to a constrained new fiscal reality…

[UN Secretary-General António] Guterres is seeking to eliminate 20% of jobs across the UN Secretariat, which employs some 35,000 people, and to make a 20% reduction to the UN’s regular budget, which covers essential programmes and administration costs, and is currently set at just under $3.7 billion for 2026.

Just as the Big Beautiful Bill is a step in the right direction insofar as it slows the explosive growth of government spending we have seen under Democrats, a 20% reduction in UN staffing is a positive step toward the 100% reduction that is necessary so that the world can be safe from this malign institution’s mix of incompetence, wastefulness, and moonbattery.
