cast of Republican characters may not be able to manage
an economic policy or a foreign policy, but that doesn't
mean they are completely without ability. In this life, you
have to do what you do best, and what Americans do best
is give money away. Our balance-of-payments deficit with
most of the countries of the world is powerful testimony
to that.
I propose that the Reagan administration embark on a
policy of huge grants to all rebel forces in all civil wars. I
know it will cost billions, but it might be worth Reagan's
while.
I'm talking about simply buying those rebels off. Out
right bribery. We've tried the trickle-down system of pay
ing the oppressive dictators, but they seem to lose it all
(minus what they manage to get into Swiss bank ac
counts) to the rebels eventually.
Why not give the Marxist Revolutionaries a chance at
the money and see what they can do with it directly?
Maybe the savings from cutting out the middleman would
be substantial. Besides, those large corporations and in
dividuals making more than $50,000 who have been bene
fiting from Reagan's social and tax policy must have
saved something. They could contribute any additional

funds that would be necessary.
Granted, it would take a 180-degree change in our
foreign policy. Heretofore, we only have done such gen
erous things for Communist countries with large armies -Russia,
Poland, etc. - or for non-Communist countries
with oppressive dictatorships. However, I think we can ad
just. We're very flexible when it comes to giving money
away.
But the final question, as always in these discussions of
worldly affairs, is will it work? Will it bail out the Reagan
administration? Will people buy this as a bold new foreign
policy initiative? As Dayton Allen used to say on the old
Steve Allen comedy show, "Whyyyyy not?" It worked for
Nixon. Whenever things got hot for him in domestic pol
itics, he'd direct the spotlight on his important work in
the Middle East of Russia or China. He wrote the book
on staying in office when no one wants you there.
But any president can do that if he correctly applies
the important principle of reverse campaign policy. Ac
cording to this principle, whatever sort of policy a presi
dent has campaigned on and gotten elected on, he can
violate.
Lyndon Johnson, a peace candidate, could get away
with waging one of the bloodiest wars in American his
tory. Richard Nixon, a vehement anti-Communist, could
get away with recognition of Communist China and de
tente with the Russians. Would we have accepted Gold
water waging such a war? Or Hubert Humphrey recog
nizing Communist China? I doubt it. Can we accept
Ronald Reagan's starring in The Buying Off of Marxist
Insurgents? Well, we've accepted him in Reaganomics
and The New Federalism. Is this really so much more to
ask?
