Many Haitians routinely go to bed hungry, and are heartbreakingly accustomed to privation and natural disasters.

I read something somewhere, sometime ago that the Clinton’s had taken care of Haiti’s problems. I guess it was just another Clinton lie.

How is the DR, on the other side of the island, is relatively doing well with plenty of food and resorts (In fact they are the top tourist destination in the Caribbean) but Haiti has been a decrepit wasteland since the French left?

I don’t need to state the obvious.

We’ve got Haitians here in America.

We should them back to help their countrymen.

No excuse. Something is very wrong and it isn’t just the weather. There should not be malnutrition. Just think of the food that is wasted on cruise ships and resorts in neighboring areas.

Corruption pure and simple. And, where are the Clinton’s with all the money they have amassed?

Send snowflakes to build an irrigation system. That will solve several problems.

I hate to say it, but I think you could throw a trillion dollars into Haiti and in 10 years it would be right back where it was.

In the Haitian revolution in the 18th Century, they massacred the whites. Men, women, children.

They have been damned ever since.

You mean that after they got the gold mines the Clinton “Foundation” (a great book series) has kicked the dust of Haiti off of their feet?

” You make your bed and lay in it to sleep “.

The people of Haiti have made their beds and now reap the results that come with the support of a corrupt government.

Let them sort it out for it is not my problem. We have enough problems here at home fighting socialism so that same scenario won’t happen here.

They wanted it and they got what they wanted.

Why do they go to bed hungry? Why are they accustomed to privation?

Several valid points from other posters on this thread.

The Clintons are thieves (that was just a gimme...).

Haitians who came to the US legally are some of the hardest working people you will ever encounter. They fully understand coming to a nation where they have political, economic and spiritual freedom and opportunities.

Free food from USAID and many, many NGO sources result in farmers having no incentive to plant as they have few to sell to.

Primitive land management/farming techniques continue to strip the land of any viable farming use. Millions of seedlings planted back in the 80's/90's that were supposed to prevent erosion of soil were harvested for charcoal production (used by millions as the only cooking fuel) when they were 2-3 inches in diameter. This re-planting and then malharvest was continually repeated.

An agronomist friend in the country (European brother who had worked all over the world in third-world agronomy) was of the opinion (back in the 80's) that Haiti could feed themselves and the entire Caribbean basin if the land was properly managed. That goal was very achievable but it was impossible to break Haitians from the cycles of only planting sugar cane or seedlings for charcoal.

Haiti continues in a never-ending cycle of dependence-mentality, bone-crushing poverty that has spiritual roots.

How many years ago was the earthquake? (January 12, 2010) Yet there are massive areas that still looked like it just happened last week.
