The opening of Soviet markets for U.S. goods is welcome news indeed. At last we can offer the Soviets a wonderful means of earning U.S. dollars to pay for our goods: Now that the gulags have been emptied, we can ship our drug dealers, murderers and excess criminals to the Soviets to house in these superb facilities (50 degrees below zero in the winter and only Russian spoken) at a fraction of the costs now incurred by U.S. taxpayers. We would not have to build more new jails and face the ire of local citizens who do not want jails in their neighborhoods. Three cheers for the ideal solution to our collapsing justice system!
