The US is a major player in the World Bank. Not only are there offices in the US Capital, but the US frequently gives the bank money or loan guarantees.

They don't. There really is a World Bank. It runs around giving low interest loans to developing nations and funds some other stuff.
Google it, then come back and vote.

In my opinion tho the cause that it was created for is good it has gone astray and like many of the programs in the united states it needs to be looked at, closely, if need be dissolve it's partnership with the world bank. I also feel that even if we dissolve our partnership we should always help countries less fortunate than ourselves. A lot of our outreach programs here in the United States has turned into organized crime. As in robbery. The top ones feeding off the others. hmmm Our bankers' and our politicians seem to have a lot in common.

US don't "give money" to World Bank; in fact it is a very lucrative business from the interest on the loans, and by open "free trade".
