d should be provided, but must not be a main focus of the U.S. Russia needs to be strong enough to support these programs, and when it is providing for the people, the people will support the government. Although capitalistic democracy has proved to be more successful in the past, a socialist government owned system might be recommended for Russia. This type of economy would help stop the Russian plutocrats who currently run the economy. After Russia has a strong government, it can create its own social programs for the needy. Maybe after Russia restructures itself and obtains a strong government, then it can begin to slowly strife for capitalism and democracy, but for now Russia has larger problems and should follow Cuba's model of socialism.BibliographyJack, Andrew, "POVERTY: Bleak future for the poor," http://www.ft.com/ftsurveys/sc3ee6.htm, Internet, 4/28/00Lynch, Allen, Great Decisions, Report Card on Survival, New York, The Chase Manhattan Corporation, 1999Powell, David E., The Dismal State of Health Care in Russia, 1999Wolosky, Lee S., Putin's Plutocrat Problem, 1999 ...
