Message | Once again we are told this bill will spur inflation, as Finance Minister I assure all parties that inflation is in check. The URP has continued a hawkish policy on inflation and seeks to control it through monetary policy which falls under my purview. Unemployment is remarkably low in 4 of Lodamun's 5 kingdoms. Norstavan 4.34% Andalay 4.36% Kregon 4.70% Rapula 5.55% Golavia 7.08% While we applaud the NMP's desire to lower unemployment, it seems unwise to do so on the backs of Lodamun's working class. In my opinion IF this bill were to have any impact it would be negligible in Norstavan, Andalay, and Kregon. Rapula and Golavia might have employment increase slightly. - Elisa Lalo, Minister of Finance |

Message | Those unemployment figures are clearly fraudulent, due to the fact that they have remained constant for 400 years. |
