I, for one, do not beleive in using economics as just another instrument of policy.

I'm sure glad Ronald Reagan disagreed with you, and used the dollar as a weapon against the Soviet Union.

We might save a dollar by pursuing our own self-interest. But if America falls, where're we gonna spend it?

(Was it Lenin who said, "The capitalists will sell us the very rope with which we will hang them." ?)

The Soviet Union collapsed because it overspent money on trying to keep industries going that were not productive, and we will also.
