Bill: Responsible Private Industries Act of 2921
Details
Submitted by[?]: Genuine Progress Alliance
Status[?]: defeated
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: February 2922
Description[?]:
| This bill aims to remove the government of the responsibility of subsidizing companies that face the risk of being bankrupt. Instead, this bill aims to restore the law that simply allows government-owned industries and privately-owned industries to co-exist. The current law gives the government the burden of supporting bankrupt private companies. If this is the case, we would be breeding dependence and reliance to the government instead of self-reliance among company owners. Also, some companies facing bankruptcy do not deserve to be subsidized because of poor business practices or because of internal problems beyond the government's control. |

| Message | Question, so let's a private company is facing bankruptcy and they DO deserve to be subsidized. What happens than? |
| Date | 11:01:21, April 11, 2010 CET | From | Genuine Progress Alliance | To | Debating the Responsible Private Industries Act of 2921 |
| Message | The question there is why those companies deserve to be subsidized. Right now, the party does not see any valid reason for the government to subsidize failing companies, particularly because there will be other private companies that may either have interest in acquiring the companies or acquiring the consumers of the bankrupt companies which make the sale of goods and services still accessible though slightly changed. However, the party welcomes any comments on this bill as well as a presentation of possible scenarios wherein it is truly necessary for the government to subsidize private industries. |
