acockasian Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 A Caribbean banker I know was explaining that, without a penny of foreign aid, Haiti could be completely rebuilt within a year or two and near full employment. On the fast track to becoming a developing or developed country. Fuel products produced from sugar cane in Haiti would have to be tax exempt for maybe a decade, but given the price of oil it does make sense. Will it happen? No. Completely unreasonable to use a model like Chinese companies use in Africa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LizardKing Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 LOL! Struth there. But that is just further evidence of the third-world-ization of the US. Should anyone disagree -- no help for you if you are not the correct party member -- notice how W's bro's state FL a couple of months later got well handled...

Hugh_Hoy Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 That's cuz the governor of Florida was a Republican for sure. LA's Gov and NO's Mayor were typical inept, bumbling Demoncraps. HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unit731 Posted March 12, 2011 Report Share Posted March 12, 2011 I would love an isolationist America. But what would that look like? How would that effect the rest of you? OIL. It's all about oil. And the accumulation of wealth. Greed maybe. And maybe gutless, spineless, idiotic policticians. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
