| Message | We disagree, tied aid gives us preferential treatment, which should be earned, not bought. This would weaken the economy of the nation we give aid to as they are forced to import more expensive, or inferior Telamonian products. If our companies wish to compete for these markets, let them do so, but let them do so on their own. |
