U N Shows a Profit (for us) It may come as a surprise
A Brookings study by Prof. John Fried found the United Nations spends far more in the United States than the U.S. spends on it. In 1962 the UN injected about 67 million dollars into New York City through salaries, rents, utilities, and purchases. Agencies like UNICEF buy goods domestically, boosting the U.S. economy. The UN pumps roughly four times what it uses from the U.S. each year, potentially boosting local supportities.

Midwest brain drain cited by Iowa speakers at conference
Des Moines JDPA reports Dr. Charles Kimball warned that Iowa's colleges awarded 72,000 degrees from 1950 to 1960 while graduates living in the state rose by only 19,000. He said 50 to 75 percent of Iowa and Iowa State graduates leave for first jobs, while NASA official James Webb noted the Midwest has the fewest scientists per capita. Hodges urged attracting private industry to use local talent, noting regional R&D concentration and uneven distribution of military research, with six states housing half the nation’s scientists.
