Bill: Defense Spending Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Revolutionary Constit'nal United Front
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: April 2446
Description[?]:
| By the Beard of His Heavenly Divine Father Shining in the Stars Above, Jelbanian rudiments of the Soil, shalt not henceforth Bereave Fanciful Excesses of the Federal Government's Pennybags. As such, the persons who Suffer of the Inconvenience of a Dearth--Insatiable--in such Monetary Milk as from a Mother's Teat, are on the Shores of Distant Lands, Quarreling Verily with Armaments of Death's Hoary Grasp with Little but a bag of Sunflower Seeds and a Revolver! Thou shalt be Saved, oh Hapless, Courage-ful Battle Man! (Translation: Due to recent moves of deregulation of agriculture (a cut in subsidies, an elimination of quota enforcement, and pesticide inspections), we can justify a substancial cut in agriculture spending and an increase in Defense spending, which is necessary considering Jelbanian armed forces are to be engaged in armed conflict abroad.) |
