Right. It's called throwing good money after bad. Why should the US
government (read why should *I* as a US citizen) give money to the
Russian government when most of it will be wasted and very little will
be used to improve their economy?
I certainly have no interest in having my tax dollars used to improve
the lifestyle of a few Russian "oligarchs" or, for that matter, bailing
out US banks and hedge funds that made a bad investment in Russia.
Wouldn't it be nice if we little guys could find such a sweetheart deal?
Make a risky trade and, if it goes bad, the government will step in and
cover our losses.
