Since when do we pay for "free" food distribution cards?

Following the aid money to Haiti

Corruption continues in Haiti. With the rains have come further tarp distributions, which seem to be going well. Public food distributions, however, are not. A veteran missionary couple we know hears of poor planning, confusion and some pretty rough scenes. Some of their people have said that, in their areas, it's organized with food cards but that often cards are sold, not free as told.

I read on the CBS News website that enough aid has been raised to give each displaced family a check for $37,000. The question is, what is being done with all that aid money? Why haven't these 1.5 million Haitians received what they need to help get them back on their feet? Four months after the earthquake, 1.5 million remain homeless.
