Bill: Pension
Details
Submitted by[?]: bran1322 Party
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: December 2497
Description[?]:
| You can get a loan for just about anything, except to help in your retirement years. Most people do not save adequately and it is difficult to see saving for the far far future when you have pressing issues now, but the fact is people do not save enough and we need to get them to before they get into real trouble later. A voluntary system will not get everyone to save and most likely those that don't are probably those that need to the most. |

| Random fact: Any RP law granting extraordinary "emergency powers" or dictator-like powers to a government must be passed by at least a 2/3rds majority, but (like all RP laws) may always be overturned by a simple majority vote of the legislature. |
