What do you think all of the donations are going towards?
I found it interesting that the updated Google Earth images of Haiti only showed pockets of damage when the media tells us that the entire country is devastated.
Plus, all of the media reporting seem to be focused on the few blocks that showed major devastation; almost like a bomb went off there.
Haiti GDP is only $6.95 billion. They'll probably end up getting a sixth or a third of that in "aid." U.S. taxpayers alone are giving $200 million.
I feel sorry for the true victims but I also think we're being sold a story based on devastation hundreds of times worse than it really is.
