What the hell, the government already donated tons of money to Haiti. It's like charity, we have government welfare but the government can't provide no where near enough so we have charity too,, the government can only give so much. The government technically has no money, did you hear about the $1.2 trillion deficit this year. Supplies only do so much good and as they said it cost money to ship them there. Haiti's entire infrastructure and economy is in the ground, they need hard currency they can use on the markets to stabilize themselves.
In every case, a certain amount of the money raised, does go to other things besides direct aid to the people who need it. You can't just take 100,000.00 and go 'poof' here's 100,000 worth of food. There are costs to getting it there, costs to distruibute it, costs to get people there to help and so on... and of course, costs to bribe the right people to get everything happening, and I believe that applies to every country that is helping.

I hate the government but if it would not be this government it would be another. I am thankfull only at the very least. I mean it could be worse. Just remember that most of our government higher ups are lawyers and lawyers are lairs by choice. That is thier job to misdirect and muddle the truth. This is the greatest flaw in our system. Now, if their job was based like mine is then if they did not produce they would be fired. Simple as that. The people of Haiti are in a desperate need for help but they were before we went to help them. They are one of the worst 3rd world countries. Now if you want to talk about conspiracy then yes an earthquake with thousands of lives lost would be a nice distraction from oh, let's say, a health care bill. Not that I ever thought they would pass such a thing. It was never going to happen. All they can do is argue for thier own needs. No one really cares at all about one person. It's a joke and a circle jerk.
exactly, a thing would be impartial, have nothing to gain and always do what's best. People on the other hand are assholes.
