PUERTO RICO: SEND BILL AND HILLARY TO THE RESCUE!

We all remember the devastating earthquakes that hit Haiti in 2010.  Surely, the carnage there was about the same as what we are witnessing in Puerto Rico today; everything was flattened or destroyed and getting aid and supplies into the area was nearly impossible.  But over $13.5 billion was quickly raised by international humanitarian efforts to help rebuild Haiti... a dream that has yet to come true.  

The Clinton Foundation and the Bush family teamed up together to spearhead a venture to use those dollars to rebuild buildings and infrastructure, provide training and education and help build the Haitian economy.  Secretary of State Hillary Clinton made sure that a good chunk of U.S. taxpayer money, almost $4 billion, got into the mix as well.  

So much for good intentions. 

 

Haitians say that very little of this aid money actually got to poor people in Haiti. As reported in the National Review, "some projects championed by the Clintons, such as the building of industrial parks and posh hotels, cost a great deal of money and offered scarce benefits to the truly needy. Port-au-Prince was supposed to be rebuilt; it was never rebuilt. Projects aimed at creating jobs proved to be bitter disappointments. Haitian unemployment remained high, largely undented by the funds that were supposed to pour into the country. Famine and illness continued to devastate the island nation."

Allegations that the major portion of the relief money got steered to contractors chosen by the Clintons, who managed to get paid "finders fees" and other cuts of the take still permeate the atmosphere.  What is largely agreed upon is that what relief that was provided was only a token of what was actually needed and that results were mixed at best.  In other words, it was a huge ripoff. 

Fast forward to September of 2017 and the situation in Puerto Rico.  The Clintons and the Bushes are unemployed.  Hillary is in the dumps.  Given their wonderful success in Haiti, why don't we select them to head up another "humanitarian" operation?  They desperately need the money and we all know that what they do must be legal, because they've never been investigated or prosecuted for it.  

That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
