Bill: Foreign Aid Revision Act 2930
Details
Submitted by[?]: Freedom Party
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: December 2930
Description[?]:
The Freedom Party is concerned about the current legislation regarding the donation of aid to foreign countries. At present the legislation reads that "Rutania gives high levels of aid to countriies in need". Freedom also believes that giving taxpayers money away to foreign countries, no questions asked, is generous but stupid. Freedom believes that money can be much better spent on projects closer to home which has tangible benefits like getting the unemployment rate down. Any money we do give should be based on caveats which benefit us. Rutania is not a charity. Therefore Freedom moves that the legislation be changed to read: o The government supplies "tied" aid to poorer nations in return for trading rights Valerie Atkins Freedom Party Ldr |

Message | We do not support "tied" aid, as we see this as a mild form of extortion, though we would support reduced levels of aid. Hence, we cannot support, but we do not support the status quo either. |
