Hillary and Haiti - What's the Root Cause? [View all]
Having had Hillary and Haiti thrown in my face, I've done some research and it definitely was a fiasco. Land was taken from farmers to build a textile factory that promised 60,000 jobs, and only delivered 6000. I looked at Hillary's platform and she again is proposing that manufacturing fueled by big business will restore our economy. It didn't work in Haiti - will it work here? I think she has a better chance with infrastructure, but no one likes to hear that it will be funded with taxpayer money. And should the government hire, or do we privatize?
Thoughts?
