Message | This is a bill to ease those who were made redundant and jobless by companies who choose profit over people. |
Date | 03:21:00, February 17, 2008 CET | From | Subsistence Alliance | To | Debating the PRF Peoples Bill |
Message | In other words, because of a minor economic downturn, you intent to cause a major recession? |
Date | 13:04:10, February 17, 2008 CET | From | Cildanian Workers Coalition | To | Debating the PRF Peoples Bill |
Message | It's nice to see the SA is calling the loss of thousands of jobs " a minor economic downturn" - I suggest they go to Hebilon Canton and preach that message to those that have lost their jobs. |
Date | 14:41:36, February 17, 2008 CET | From | Subsistence Alliance | To | Debating the PRF Peoples Bill |
Message | The SA is a party with integraty, dedicated to more than simply getting ourselves into power through any means. I'm sure the CWC, who hold no ideals beyond telling people what they want to hear, may find this shocking, but we allready have preached our message in Hebilon, and across the rest of Cildania. The loss of thousants of jobs, allthough of course a negitive event, is nothing campared to the complete economic colapse that would invariably follow the addition of these policys when there is no funding for them. You would try to bankrupt the nation and empoverish its people, just over a few thousand jobs? |

Message | The CSD will of course support this. |

Message | The SA is very very good at preaching when it needs to make it's saintly points, however in the world of politics, and especially in Cildania, the rules are slightly different. We would, of course, want to raise taxes and change spending to help out ALL our peoples, however, in the current political climate, this is difficult to achieve, but emergencies call for emergency powers. We wish to remind the SA that points 4 and 5 of this bill have already been introduced in Cildania in the very near past, and the country was not "bankrupted" or it's people "empoverished". Perhaps the SA would be better served thinking bout the people it claims to represent in Hebilon, 1.2 Million of them at the last count, instead of posturing and poking it's head over the parapet and throwing boiling oil on every proposal? |
