The Issue
The international community has appealed to La Christiania to increase humanitarian aid to the world's poorer nations.
The Debate
"We must increase foreign aid," says beaded local peace activist Hope Chicago. "Compared to some of these nations, La Christiania is swimming in dollars. Let's face it, not every nation in the world is lucky enough to have a government like ours. Let's show some compassion to our less economically gifted neighbors."
[Accept]
"Talk about a way to flush dollars straight down the toilet," argues Think Tank member Max Jefferson. "What I've noticed is that whenever we do give something, it's never enough: a few years later they're back asking for more. The best way to help these poor nations is to stop shielding them from the logical consequences of their idiotic, long-debunked socialist economic policies."
[Accept]
"Relief wouldn't hurt us... if we 'relieved' the right countries," suggests government advisor Freddy O'Bannon. "We give them a little humanitarian aid, they give us access to their Automobile Manufacturing markets... it's win-win. Nothing wrong with a little quid pro quo, especially for a good cause."
This is the position your government is preparing to adopt.
I'm assuming that option 2 or 3 is the economy booster, but I can't decide which one. I'd say three since eventually you shold be getting more money in return, but I could be wrong.
