Haitian debt MUST BE FORGIVEN!!!
Every last penny of it.

Wipe the slates clean, completely.

And every penny that goes into rebuilding Haiti must be charitable. No new debt to help them recover from this.

If Haiti is rebuilt and left debt free, Haiti will prosper.

2. Yes it does
They've been down too fucking long due to this debt they've been paying on for years.

We're almost there ourselves. The purpose of the deficits is to move us to the same place, the haves and the rest of us barely getting by.

6. Haiti doesn't owe shite
The French robbed them and refuse to repay them and with the backing of the Washington Consensus, the IMF scoundrels have been looting Haiti for decades.

Haiti should simply announce to the world that all debts are off.

9. And Duvalier ran up high interest debts to pay for his lifestyle
and the rest of the world is holding Haiti to repay that shite.

11. Same with RSA. Mandela et al were forced to pay back the
debts run up by apartheid governments. Isn't that grand.
