President Boris Yeltsin`s visit to the U.S. was a public relations trip to raise money for Russia. President Bush`s request for a blank check to prop up the ruble is now before Congress, which continues to ignore the deficit and the problems of the inner city. As an American taxpayer I say to Congress:
”No problem! Let`s show them our presses print dollars faster than their presses churn out rubles!”
So what if we prop up a regime with nearly the same cast of characters that bankrupted the old system, and forget the late Andrei Sakharov`s warning that ”aid to the Kremlin is like pouring water into sand.”
