Great to be The Great

This Prof Sachs’s article about Haiti in here.

The economy will have a simple structure in the coming years, with most economic activities focused in five sectors: smallholder, or peasant, agriculture; reconstruction; port services and light manufacturing; local small-scale trade; and public services, including health care and education. The key challenge is to support these five sectors in order to combine short-term relief with long-term reconstruction and development.

First, special efforts should be made to boost peasant agriculture and rural communities. This will enable hundreds of thousands of displaced people to return to their village communities and live from farming. With fertilizer, improved seeds, small-scale irrigation, rapid training and extension services, and low-cost storage silos, Haiti’s food production could double or triple in the next few years, sustaining the country and building a new rural economy.

Reconstruction – of roads, buildings, and water and sanitation systems – will employ tens of thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of Haitian construction workers, and boost the regeneration of towns. The World Food Program can help peasant farmers to produce more food in the countryside and then purchase the food to use in food-for-work programs oriented to construction projects.

Been thinking that, rebuilding Haiti “only” $10-$20 billion, there is lots of billionaires in the world with that kind of money. You know he(must say I only think of males in this instant –bit of painful but what I can say! Accept my own weakness also my virtue gosh I have so painfully good virtues?) cannot take his money to his own grave when he dies namelessly, so I make a suggestion to the all the (he) billionaires, BUY Haiti for as his own and make his own kingdom. Crowned himself as the King of Haiti. Like the old days- “guns pointed people’s heads and take whatever they want” kind of strategy. The difference this time is “offer them money each of Haiti people’s heads buy their mind” They make investment to their own money, so their eyeballs are lighting on neon lights in eye sockets, hoots on every thieves' movements, guarded their money like hawks days and nights, who might come closer to their own territory. So that way less corruptible. May be within 10 years times the Splendors King of Haiti will get his money back with full interest. It is much better investment than stock markets! He keeps his kingdom with his good name goes on forever ever in people’s mind. Who knows may be he will be named as “ Hot Shot Somebody from Nobody the Great” like Alexander the Great or King Sejong the Great!! What a great things to do!
