Bill: Budget proposal to fund the defense of Malivia
Details
Submitted by[?]: Supporters of Science in Design (IP)
Status[?]: defeated
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: December 2539
Description[?]:
"00:45:16, February 29, 2008 CET From Federalist Party To Debating the Military Readyness Act. Message ah, roleplaying. Dear fellow parties, The previous attack from Maliva on innocent diplomats was unjust, but we must keep calm. We propose to set up an embargo on them, deport all merchants from that nation, and send battleships near their seas to show that we don't look kindly on dictators." They seek to send their navy after us! Their current defense spending is roughly equivalent to 25 billion MCR (after using the currency exchange rates: http://80.237.164.51/particracy/main/rates.php) This temporary increase to our defense funding must be passed to give us enough resources to build up a fleet to defend ourselves. |

Date | 07:48:42, February 29, 2008 CET | From | Malivia Democratic Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal to fund the defense of Malivia |
Message | Our current revenue is: 70,663,844,440 MCR. That already puts us in the red at -37,945,560 MCR annually. The Malivia Democratic Party will not support increasing our national debt further just because some parties want to be warmongerers. |
Date | 07:49:55, February 29, 2008 CET | From | Malivia Democratic Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal to fund the defense of Malivia |
Message | Forgot to mention, your other proposed increase in taxes to compensate for this is absolutely ludicrous. |
Date | 08:21:13, February 29, 2008 CET | From | Supporters of Science in Design (IP) | To | Debating the Budget proposal to fund the defense of Malivia |
Message | We are currently -6,867,439 in deficit. We are curious as to where your other figure comes from. Furthermore, if there is any good reason to go into debt, it is to defend one's national sovereignty. Unless you would prefer this becoming the Malivian Republic of Indrala... |
Date | 14:33:25, February 29, 2008 CET | From | Malivia Democratic Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal to fund the defense of Malivia |

Date | 23:18:53, February 29, 2008 CET | From | The Counsel of The People's Movement | To | Debating the Budget proposal to fund the defense of Malivia |
Message | Party's of Malivia, I the Foreign Minister, Ambassador J. Laweson have come to submit to diplomatic talks. Do you accept me into the nation or should I close my last Embassy? You have two months to comply otherwise I must see to it we close off all diplomatic relations until your government is further stable from a communist dictator. Signed, J. Laweson, FM of Indrala |
