>> My point was that importing plywood would run up costs and add time to construction.

As long as it is going to be OUR money paying for it, maybe they could buy the plywood in Georgia? Like a 700 mile trip.

You think we might do that.

Since Obama's $800 Billion stimulus didn't create any jobs, selling plywood to Haiti -- there's an idea. As long as we can get China to lend us the money that we can then lend to Haiti to buy it with.
