What a joke.
To cancel a $268 million debt will be a great help to Haiti and the Haitian people need as much help as they can get from any and all sources. It's not as if earthquakes have ceased there and life went back to its third-world economy normal - not even that. Most of the people there continue to suffer more than anyone in this country can comprehend. I continue to send aid to Haiti and will do so for a long, long time.
The Haitian people need help. The help they need is to have their government and bureaucracy changed so that the economy can prosper. Until this is done no amount of money will change anything there. Haitians need private property rights. They need to allow foreign investment.
