From Article;"The former president remained hopeful that Haiti can recover and vowed to fight for more aid."

Fox News reported yesterday that 3 billion dollars has poured into Haiti since 1982.

What good did it do?

That is $3 billion from the U.S. since '90. A man who has worked as a relief/aid worker for years mentioned that and said several more $billion dollars had gone to Haiti from other countries since '90.

If they had just divied up all of that money in individual accounts for each of the 9 million Haitians they would all be millionaires. Something tells me that they wouldn't be living in squalor if they could have decided how to spend that money themselves.
