| Message | Education, cut by more then 50% in an earlier bill. Now you want us to pump money into finance and T and I, tot be spent by a cabinet in the pockets of big business. The Rockyfellers own T and I. Which Industries do you think that extra 45 billion ALO will go to. The same goes for Finance. This is corporate welfare, all the way. You want to privatize profits, those belonging only to a plutocratic few, and socialize losses, which apparently belongs to all of us. We can support increases to T and I and to Finance, but first we need more for education and especially HHS, to expand the safety net in these poor economic times. |

| Message | This IS for the people. Companies are people as well.... middle-class companies who face bankrupcy, people who lost all their savings when banks go banktrupt. |

| Message | The money your sending out is to help the compaines pay off their debts, you are right in doing that. However, their is no money going directly to the people which is what we need as well. |

| Message | By giving oney to companies to pay off their debts, this companies will no gobankrupt and will excist in the near future. Otherwise, when this companies go bankrupt, millions of Alorias will lose thei jobs, and thins would be even worse inthis country. Besides that, this money is also mnt for th common people who lost their savings, for example when he second largest bank inAloria (the Northwestern Bank) went bankrupt last September. Millions of Alorians have lost their life-savings, so this way we could garantee that those people get their money back. So it's not just for the companies!! |

| Random fact: Players who consent to a particular role-play by acknowledging it in their own role-play cannot then disown it or withdraw their consent from it. For example, if player A role-plays the assassination of player B's character, and player B then acknowledges the assassination in a news post, but then backtracks and insists the assassination did not happen, then he will be required under the rules to accept the validity of the assassination role-play. |
