$100 Million for Haiti Seems Very Small After Our Country's Recent Experiences

Last year, our government spent over a billion dollars between the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP), the Term Asset-Backed Securities Loan Facility (TALF), and multiple other government intervention programs. Regardless of what Obama and the banking world wants you to believe, most of that money isn't coming back, and inured to the benefit of a small handful of people. In short, our government opened its coffers and acted in a way that will ultimately lead to massive inflation and destroy the wealth that our country created in the past, assuring that future generations will not live the same standard of living that we have experienced in the last three decades.

Then, now we are faced with a very real human tragedy (as opposed to a financial one) just beyond our borders affecting 3 million fellow citizens. Obama and Clinton had the opportunity to open the printing presses once again, but this time to respond to a very real human tragedy. And, when push came to shove, they couldn't even open it more than a fraction of what they opened it to bail out their buddies on Wall Street.
