6. "...Haiti, which has been incredibly hit by different things..."
Yes, they have. But the IMF seems to have forgotten to add imperialism and exploitation by foreign financial interests to the list of disasters Haiti has suffered.

Let the IMF have their way, and Feudalistic Capitalism with reign in Haiti. Ask the good people of Latin American about the strings attached to help from the World Bank and IMF.

Let's all sit back and watch another case study in disaster capitalism.

Recommended reading for anyone wanting to make sense of what's to come in Haiti: "The Shock Doctrine," by Naomi Klein.
