Bill: Foreign Aid Reform Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Marxist-Leninist Happiness Front
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: July 2458
Description[?]:
We're in favor of a more pragmatic foreign aid policy where we'll provide aid when benefits to our Republic can be extracted. This wouldn't be handouts but rather a tool to gain economic advantages over our rivals. |

Old value:: The government gives high levels of aid to countries in need.

| Message | The party finds itself in surprised agreement at the good sense of the communists on this matter. This is a sensible, capitalistic approch to foreign policy, in essence "selling" aid rather than merely "giving" it, in a manner which will ultimately be to the benefit of Cildania. Hear hear. |

| Message | The government is still robbing Peter to pay Paul, what does it matter what kickbacks it receives? The JLC will never support anything but a policy of no foreign aid. |
| Date | 02:13:47, September 09, 2007 CET | From | Imperial Cildanian Egoists | To | Debating the Foreign Aid Reform Act |
| Message | Unfortunate that there is no option available under our laws that specificially states "Government shall encourage private companies to render aid to foreign nations in exchange for trading rights, but shall not itself fund or mandate such aid." |

| Message | I would rather we helped those in need, but this is better than our current policy. |
