Haiti gets nearly $10B

So haiti has gotten nearly 10 billion dollars in donations for reconstruction, and food and shelter and stuff. The U.S. pledged 1.15 billion. Now, don't get me wrong, Haiti needs our help, and people should help them, but donating that much when our unemployment is high, and we have people in the U.S. that need help as much as Haiti. So I think we should put some of that money to help the people losing their homes in the U.S. too. I also think it's dumb that the whole world started donating after the earthquake destroyed everything, wouldn't it be better to help build better buildings in places like that before disasters happen?
