The way that money is lent to developing (i.e. will never develop hellholes) nations is criminal- to both the poor of those countries and to the taxpayes of the countries that fund those loans. The money ends up lining the pockets of the rich corrupt in those nations, and the repayment, as well as terms, cripples the people of the receiving nations for decades. In the meantime, we are the people who fund the loans in the first place, in the guise of “humanitarian aid.” This is one area where both knee-jerk liberals and fiscal conservatives should find common ground.

France has every right to nullify all their loans to Haiti. Every other loan is null and void. Affirmation the French are pompous.

Haitian refugees would be much happier in the south of France than Miami. Let France offer them shelter there; pas de merde.
