Bill: PUA Welfare Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Pan-Sekowo Freedom Alliance
Status[?]: passed
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: September 2527
Description[?]:
As part of our recent bills to increase private spending, we want to increase spending by citizens, and ensuring that welfare is provided to those in need is a vital way of doing that. We accept that many partys may be idealogically opposed to welfare, but ask them to vote yes on this bill anyway, in acknowledgment of the large poverty crisis facing our nation, and in acceptance that increasing spending a the way to fix it. This can be repealed at a later date if the burden on government spending proves to be counterproductive |

Random fact: "OOC", "IC" and "IG" are commonly-used acronyms in Particracy. "OOC" refers to comments, discussions and actions which are out-of-character, meaning they are done player-to-player rather than party-to-party. "IC" refers to in-character interactions (ie. party-to-party). Similarly, "IG" means in-game, although this term may also simply refer to what happens in the actual game interface, as opposed to on the forum or elsewhere. "RP" just means "role-play". |
