Bill: The Real Spending Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Oh Gnoez Party
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 not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 2624
Description[?]:
| Finance Minister Fritz von Planck has proposed that we cut back military spending on such dead-end projects as the Super Duper Gun of Flowers and the Vaguely Unpleasant Almost-Cough-Inducing Gas. We'll also reduce funding for the Ministry of Justice as this bill contains a proposal to eliminate the national police force. The increase in foreign spending is to allow for increased foreign aid, and to give our diplomats more cushion for traveling and entertaining foreign leaders. |
