Didn't feel a thing!

Okay, so the US has cut $60M in funding to a UN agency over its vote to recognize palestinian blah blah blah yadda yadda whatever.   First, this feels like dirty politics to me - not that the UN isn't dirty politics and shouldn't just go.   You don't vote the way we want?  We cut your money and livelihood.  Sounds kinda thuggish to me. Again, not that the UN isn't thuggish.  And not that a nation doesn't have the right to do what it wants with its money. 

But since we're saving $60M, first, I didn't feel a thing over here in Beaverton, Oregon.  Nothing.  Yadda yaadda.  Life goes on as usual.  Which makes me question whether the money was ever well spent on these things in the first place. 

Additionally, since we have $60M to do what we want with, can I recommend they just give it to me?  I promise to stimulate the economy with it by spending it and I promise my life will be better!
