The United States Federal Government should Significantly Reform its Policy Towards Russia

Thank you for your arguments. First of all, humanization, you misunderstood what I said. I am saying instead of taking money from one place and giving it to Russia the United States should instead take this money and support United States institutions which help the homeless and orphaned in the United States. We have to help our country before the United States can help other countries. Second, what I said was that instead of taking the billion and giving it to Russia the United States should use the money for economical aspects of the United States. So what I am saying is that stop spending the billion dollars all together instead of giving it to Russia. Third, you stated that Ethanol can be successful if sugar-based ethanol is used. The United States could begin researching sugar-based ethanol instead of corn this could mean the United States would become as technologically advanced in regard to ethanol as Brazil. Fourth, corruption in Russia. You state that USAID administers the money them selves but according to the USAID itself, "Most programs take place in "the regions" -- outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg -- and are implemented by local governments and non-governmental organizations..USAID does finance some critically important technical cooperation with the Government of the Russian Federation" (USAID). This means that the government IS involved which means corruption IS involved. 1. Humanization The United States Federal Government has a responsibility to protect its OWN citizens from domestic problems including homelessness. The government has to put its citizens above the citizens of another country. "We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution". The Federal Government must help its own people above people of other countries. 2. Economy The United States needs to use the billion dollars in the United States where it is needed. With this plan the United States will not be spending any extra money but, the money that is being sent to Russia could be used in the United States. 3. Ethanol You state that since corn based Ethanol is not as effective as Sugar based Ethanol that Brazil uses. Could the United States not start researching sugar based ethanol which is more effective? Brazil is technologically advanced in terms of ethanol what stops the United States from being as advanced. 4. Corruption Corruption is widespread in Russia and you say that USAID operates without the Russian government but, according to USAID itself, "Most programs take place in "the regions" -- outside of Moscow and St. Petersburg -- and are implemented by local governments and non-governmental organizations...USAID does finance some critically important technical cooperation with the Government of the Russian Federation". USAID operates with the Russian govrenmnet and the Russian government is corrupt so therefore, the Russian government's corruption is furthered by USAID actions. 5. National Security Sending 1 billion dollars instead of 70 million dollars a year does not make us any more safe from the Russian Federation or the rest of the world and you have not proved this. And you just stated that it does not impede our abilities to solve our domestic problems but, the billion dollars could be used instead to help solve the United States domestic problems.
