Perspective …
My friend Linnea Nilsen Capshaw had a letter to the editor on Haiti published in the Washington Post recently … She notes that “U.S. taxpayers have given $180 billion to bail out American International Group (AIG), but AIG will give $1.2 billion in bonuses company-wide this year. The money spent by AIG to pay bonuses would nearly wipe out Haiti’s debt.” (Haiti’s debt is about 1.5 billion). Staggering, isn’t it?
