This is unnecessary; we can cut the budget, and still spend a generous amount of money on the troops. We propose to set troop levels to exactly 1.2 million active troops, and 900,000 reserve troops, and the proposed budget. We also wish to cut much of the unnecessary funding elsewhere in the bill, and divert it into education and science, that we may have a technologically advanced nation to go forth with our plans of mass destruction and world domination.« ~Natasha Goldstein (Goldstein Corporation) BE IT ENACTED by the Council of Three of the Baltusian Corporate-State of Porn and Destruction, let it be resolved that: 1) There be troop levels set to exactly 1.2 million active troops and 900,000 reserves. 2) The Defense Ministry budget be set to 2,842,620,000,000 BLD. 3) The Education and Culture Ministry budget be set to 270,000,000,000 BLD. 4) The Science and Technology Ministry budget be set to 148,000,000,000 BLD. 5) The Foreign Affairs Ministry budget be set to 5 billion BLD. 6) The Internal Affairs, Finance, Justice, Infrastructure and Transport, Food and Agriculture, Environment and Tourism, and Trade and Industry Ministry budgets be reduced to one-tenth of the current size. THIS SHALL TAKE EFFECT immediately after its passage by the Council of Three. [OOC] Unfortunately, to be realistic, we *HAVE* to cut the military budget. Because, if we invade other nations with our insane budget, and then we are taxing the poor at 99 percent, the mods will rule us out for god-modding, and we would automatically lose any wars. Bearing this in mind, this budget, with the exact troop levels given, would still be a funding of the RL equivalent of $2 million per troop per year, as opposed to $2.8 million. $2 million is still a hell of a lot, very excessive, and enough to create an Armageddon with. Especially since virtually no one on Terra spends anywhere near United States levels; that is, the RL equivalent of $300,000 per year. |

| Message | [OOC] Note that the construction of those 400 nuclear warheads completes in mid-August of 2618, so this is actually well-timed in that it will not interfere with the construction of those warheads. From now on, however, we will construct 20 megatons of nuclear power at a time; as opposed to 28. If we construct those additional 600 one megaton nukes at the rate of 20 megatons per month, then we would finish construction in 30 months. So, a few months is going to be of little effect. |
