Haiti????
 

So we sent all this money...millions and millions of dollars in aid and all kinds of help and merchandise and food........almost 10 months later people are still living in tents and dying from disease??? I would like to know where the "F" the money went???:fury:

poof

probabily used for gov't admin costs- in other words glommed by those in power....

I think the scale of the disaster is pretty overwhelming, so the money we all sent is a drop in the bucket. Unfortunately, the country itself (Haiti) is so %$%$%$%$ing broke, they are S-O-L

Wait until AFTER they finish (re)building the presidential palace, retreat or whatever. Then they'll start rebuilding the country.

Remember that this was somewhat of a "third-world country" and everything will cost more than expected, so the repair costs will be insurmountable for the Haitian government.
If there is no economy, no tax $$, no salaries to being earned then they will have to rely on help from abroad.

I work with some Haitians and have asked the same question. As the rest of the world mostly knows, they confirm that 90% of that money can be kissed goodbye. Their government is so corrupt by their own admission that less than 10% of the people will see any kind of aid or rebuilding. All a waste of money.

very touchy subject with me im staying out of this one........... Did i mention american re education and welfare reductions, oh wait wtf is that my bad,

Idea of sending FEMA's old Katrina trailers to Haiti draws backlash | NOLA.com


This is what really burns my arse.....So WHAT....give the people the info and give them the coice if they want them or not. the trailers are still probably 100 times better than how many are living now, right?

Haiti may be the most corrupt country in this Hemisphere. And the poorest in the World. It needs a lot of work from the ground up.

Have you seen what New Orleans looks like lately?
Haiti was hopeless before their disaster.

Try any of the Parish's south of NOL. WTF it's almost like Haiti with trees
