So now that RM is covering how the debt is being cancelled

[nadinbrzezinski]

do you welcome it?

And didn't I say that I expected that when I heard the words Marshal Plan?

[tabatha]

1. Yes, it is wonderful news.

[The Wielding Truth]

2. Of course. It's the decent thing to do. It's the best thing for Haiti and us.

The more stable the country the better for the world.

3. The debt for whom?? Homeowners or bankers? Any link?

[rucky]

4. Haiti, I think. n/t

[alsame]

6. Haiti. Rachel read a statement from Naomi Klein about how this

is avoiding the shock doctrine effect in Haiti.

10. And I did call it here, before that announcement came

this is kind of making me happy.

5. It seems to me that they weren't realistically likely to be able to repay the debt anyway

So there would have been no point in holding it over their heads in perpetuity. And certainly not after the catastrophe.

8. they have in the past... but there were signals that there were changes

in the tea leaves I was readying all over foreign press. Why I said in several places they were moving in that direction.

At least on this one I was right on the read of laves. I hate it, and I hope I am completely off on what the Roberts decision means from today.

9. I am really starting to believe that good news are not popular round these

parts.

I am not kidding here.
