From the New York Times today--November 8, 2012:
"Mr. Obama faced at least $386 million in negative advertising from super PACs and other outside spenders, more than double what the groups supporting him spent on the airwaves."
If one divides $386 million by 10 million (Haiti population), the answer is $38.60 for each Haitian.
If one Haitian family has a mother, father, and five kids, one then take $38.60 times 7 which equals $270.20 per family.
Then take $270.20 times 8.4 (Haitian dollars per US dollar) and the answer is $2,270 Haitian dollars per family.
This would buy a lot of rice and brown beans and some vegetables and chicken for many families who are literally starving to death as I type this post.
