Haiti

I really don't care about Haiti. It was a dump before the earthquake, and it's a dump now...with fewer people. I disagree with spending $100 Million additional taxpayer dollars on Haiti. According to Wikipedia, "According to a World Bank report published in 2004, Haiti requires more than US$1.3 billion in aid for 2005 and 2006. In July 2004, a donors’ conference awarded Haïti more than US$1 billion in pledged aid for 2005 and 2006. The United States pledged US$230 million in aid through fiscal year 2006." Like that money was well spent (not). How interesting is it that Haiti and Dominican Republic are on the same island, and you sure don't hear the DR screaming for foreign aid. Doesn't America have enough of our own problems? We sure don't have an extra $100 Million laying around to share. Horrible things happen every day...we can't be the savior of the world. If that's harsh, so be it. My dad said to me, "Look out for #1, because no one else will". I'm looking out for #1...and that doesn't include texting "haiti" to 90999 to donate $10 to a country that's a soup sandwich.
