Message | The additional 15 billion crowns a year for HSS would go towards the increased costs of a mandatory pension system. |
Date | 03:16:58, November 30, 2009 CET | From | Konstitutionelle Monarchie Partei | To | Debating the National Pension Scheme Act of 2856 (NPS Act) |
Message | Against; while the FAP this is for the public-private pension system, we can not blow our surplus away every time it hits double digits. The FAP suggests we let the budget grow till about 25-30 billion crowns where we will be able to do one budget including health spending (yet again) and the my proposed High-Tech R&D Act. The last budget (before the restored Agriculture/Science spending) spent nearly all our surplus yet in the past four years, it has grown to 15 billion, if we wait another 4, we'd have enough crowns to do these projects. |
Date | 03:22:49, November 30, 2009 CET | From | Liberaldemokratische Allianz | To | Debating the National Pension Scheme Act of 2856 (NPS Act) |
Message | There is no reason for such surplus growth. The surplus doesn't do anything. It is money being piled up each year with no outlet (ie not allocated for spending). Since 2842 alone Hulstria has accumulated a cash reserve of 523,147,427,900 crowns. If the Diet does not spend tax revenue it just sits there, completely unused. It is capital needlessly flowing out of our economy, stunting our economic growth. There is no reason to allow large surplus to build up each year. When budgets are increased, it's only cutting into what will have been the surplus for that year - it does nothing to the hundreds of billions of crowns that have resulted from previous surpluses. |
Date | 03:24:25, November 30, 2009 CET | From | Konstitutionelle Monarchie Partei | To | Debating the National Pension Scheme Act of 2856 (NPS Act) |
Message | Also, if there must be another increase for health, which if the proposed spending for a pension system goes through, in the past 3 years Hulstria has spent over 70 billion crowns on Health & Social Services alone. When the FAP proposed a 46 billion crown increase for Infrastructure & Transport in 2815, the CLA had the FAP pledge not to increase that Ministry by more than 5 billion crowns until 2840 (25 years). Will the CLA perform a similar pledge? |
Date | 03:27:45, November 30, 2009 CET | From | Liberaldemokratische Allianz | To | Debating the National Pension Scheme Act of 2856 (NPS Act) |
Message | If passed the CLA will not introduce any proposals to increase Health and Social Services spending until 2870. |
Date | 12:26:19, November 30, 2009 CET | From | Verfassungs Unabhängigkeit Partei | To | Debating the National Pension Scheme Act of 2856 (NPS Act) |
Message | the VP will supprout this bill, it is rightous. |
Date | 13:23:37, November 30, 2009 CET | From | Christliche Zentrumspartei (CDV) | To | Debating the National Pension Scheme Act of 2856 (NPS Act) |
Message | As promised, the CZP would support such a bill now that the funds have been found. |
Date | 21:02:46, November 30, 2009 CET | From | Liberal-Demokratische Partei | To | Debating the National Pension Scheme Act of 2856 (NPS Act) |
Message | Although it's a great idea, and es people a secured pension, we also do believe in the voluntary choice people have to choose their own way of pension system. Every individual have the right to choose between a public and a private system. Besides, if you install a compulsory public pension system, who says it will be a good and effective system? And is the government able to make the pesions reasonable and high? |
