Governments govern; Economies 'create' profits'. They must be kept separate.

Governments govern; economies make profits. When Democratic Government governs, they use a political Engine. A Democratic engine respects and defends the Freedom and Equality of each and every Individual that is being Governed. An Economy doesn't really care much for the People; it only cares about making a Profit. Hence, when a 'State', Nation, Country, or 'Political Entity' has been devastated by a Hurricane and needs help to rebuild, it is downright cruel to refer to 'funding' aid, as a basis for the 'help'. The only issue should be, 'how and how quickly' are we going to help. A Real Democratic Nation will apply 'democratic political principles' to help its members with the aid. No delays; no conditions. That is part of Rebuilding. The economy cannot Govern; that's a completely 'different Engine'. An Economic Engine can create tremendous profits but it can never Govern. Government runs on Political Principles of Freedom and Equality. Economies run on Profits and Monies. Why can't our Leaders recognize the difference. Government is about Governing with Freedom and Equality and structuring the Social democratically with Law and Order. No Nation can be governed with Economic Principles. Not even a Plutocracy. A Plutocracy is government by the Rich, but its still not the 'economy' that Governs. Of course, in a Plutocracy the rich will be taken care off; but its not the 'Economic Principles' that are Governing, its a Political Engine that governs. In most such cases, the government will be Autocratic or Oligarchic. Of course, all Nations need a successful economy; but we cannot make that a 'condition' for 'extending help' to a 'needy People' devastated by a Hurricane. That sounds too much like a CEO driving a Corporation not a Politician or 'Office Holder' driving a Nation with Political Principles. Economic Principles of Profits and Monies must be kept out of Democratic Government. Their independent functions must be respected and their 'proper engines' must be kept within the 'parameters' of each 'separate discipline'.
