Do you think Haiti will be built stronger and better over time?

I think it will be if the Americans keep financing them instead of taking care of our own! Don't get me wrong-I do feel bad for those poor people;but let's face facts-we have poor,homeless,destitute people right here at home,our own economy sucks,we're financing a war we have no business in,and a slew of elderly and out of work people-seems to me we should take care of our own before we go globetrotting to help others! I would like to know if any country came to our rescue when Sabrina tore the heck out of New Orleans? Sorry to be so cynical,it just makes me angry!

Not to mention they keep letting more people come in to america legally and other wise and multiplying like guppies.

"sabrina"? I think you mean Katrina... And again I repeat new orleans did not take the brunt of the storm they just flooded...  http://www.fusioncash.net/forum.php?topic=11529.msg132266#msg132266

I concur with both kool and cuppy this is just so awful for all these people to be displaced but what happened when KATRINA hit? Didn't see anyone mobilize from other countries trying to save the american dream... I know personally that some of the "relief homes" or manufactured housing were not immediately taken to the gulf area! I worked in the mid south at that time and we had parking lot space for semi trailers and we actually had to call the government to remind them of their "houses" we had 6 on trailers on our parking lot for at least 6 weeks and when we called the dispatcher says "Oh, we wondered WHERE those went, We lost track of them!" That's good government practice there!!!!!
