Aren’t the Clintons making a ton of money off the Haiti relief scam?

[Cowboy Bob]

But what about all the children in Haiti who will die because they are allergic to peanuts??

Who wants to take responsibility for that?

When the earthquake hit the US sent thousands of flashlights. Not a battery to be found.

The Clintons have been screwing up Haiti for decades.

Haiti was screwed up by the ex-priest Aristide who followed the brutal but effective Duvaliers.

Don’t they call this phenomenon a “cargo cult”?

“... 500 metric tons of peanuts to help feed 140,000 malnourished schoolchildren ...”

Every child gets 7 pounds of peanuts.

Haiti’s persistent problem is the lack of arable farmland. So one of the best things for them would be to send in an American corporation, with American equipment, to create farms from scratch. Farms with their own water supplies, rich, improved topsoil, and probably a closed community of farmers, to include their local government.

You are HIRED!

[huldah1776]

Wonder if their religion has anything to do with their oppression?

[Delta 21]

Haiti has been the most corrupt nation in the hemisphere, (excluding the U.S,) since the early 1800s.

I say we send them more peanuts.

Cool; they have their own plantation outside of the legal constraints of Arkansas, Illinois, or New York!

[Moonman62]

It’s not just the Clintons. All the crooked politicians see wealth for themselves by making the US more like Haiti.
