A paradox in the work of our government.

It's been almost 18 years since Ukraine became independent. We have had three presidents ( Leonid Kravchuk 1991-1994, Leonid Kuchma 1994-2004 and Victor Yushenko 2004 to present) and the next election is coming up in October. Kravchuk as well as Yushenko has weakened our economic situation by their anti-Russian course. Both of them were pro-West and both of them did not show enough of strength to be able to stabilize the situation. Both of them have failed. Kuchma, on the other hand, chose to work with Russia and his reforms helped to raise our economy, but not for long. He was highly corrupt and was involved in several crimes.
What I have noticed is this paradox in the work of our government: they are not thinking ahead and I am going to discuss our current government. Most of the programs it has adopted did not work to benefit any of us, or our country's future, starting with the plan to give compensation to women giving birth. I can explain what I mean by that: We want to raise our demographic rate and make the population grow - that's great. But let's first think about the state of our economy at this time. Making a quick plan to temporarily raise our birth rate would not make a big difference on our demographic map. The only difference it would make is to shrink our budget even more.
Another plan was to pay back the money people lost in Soviet times, and this plan too will not make a difference to our country and not all of the people will even see this promised money to begin with. One thing I want to point out is that before laws are adopted for such programs we should think ten years ahead and make a ten-year plan. Both, the compensation plan for women giving birth and the plan to pay back the money people lost at the time of the fall of the Soviet Union, won't change our situation and certainly won't bring a better future. There are definitely other more effective programs that could be created without just thinking of today and tomorrow but further in the future.
The same goes for NATO, yet another plan in the agenda of our president. We want to jump too fast by joining NATO. We make these radical moves against Russia and it just does not work for us. For this strategy to work we need a dictator and we don't have one. So, we should stop opposing Russia and forget about NATO for now, otherwise it will make the situation in Ukraine even worse. I think we need Russia, since the West has given up on us, but Russia also needs us. We can work together, but we need to stay neutral. Again, what other choices do we have? Because all that we see now in our Parliament are all these deputies who are thinking only about themselves, creating chaos in our country by their radical views and bringing even more problems? What kind of future will that bring us? We ask the West for help. But we should help ourselves first before trying to jump too quick God knows where.
