| Message | Because it bad fiscal policy. We need the economy to grow to increase tax revenues. By making it impossible for the average citizen to buy consumer products, we are retarding the health our economy... ooc: I'm aware that the budget doesnt actually effect the economy (it is fixed and non-functional), but as this is a political simulation, this budget reflects our economic policy. |
