Details
Submitted by[?]: Democratic Labour Party of Cobura
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: December 2567
Description[?]:
| With the return of complusary staste pension, we can avoid a long term disaster for pensioners who didn't save up in their young days, either because they were too short sighted too, or any other reasons, such as being on low income, and needing or wanting to use the moeny for something else. Old people will not have any other source of income, some of them may not have children to look after them, these people, who did not save for a pension, would either have to be taken, against their will from there homes and forced to be in care, because they cannot afford the rent, or food, or the energy prices, or they might face a tough choice between heating or food in winter, because they cannot afford both. This is about doing the right thing for the long term good of the country, the long term good of our old people, and caring for them, enabling them in their old age to be more able to look after themselves. |
