Description[?]:
| Back in 2935 Federal Congress passed this bill with huge support from both sides of the fences, right wing and left wing. Now, it has expired and we need to pass it once more. The bill is as follows: “As someone who has been a fiscal conservative and considered an expert to some I have been looking at the government’s spending habits and surplus. Aloria has before spent itself into debt; we can not let that happen. We have also spent ourselves where we barely have so much in the surplus left. Currently are surplus is just a little over 86 billion. I am introducing legislation today that will make Aloria finally have an emergency fund, we have never had one it is time to have one. This fund will prevent us from going into further deficit spending and off the wall spending. The Emergency Day Fund Act will make it that a certain amount of money must stay in the surplus as it will be emergency funds and can not be spent unless an executive order by the President or the Federal Congress votes on it. It will also make that Federal Congress may overturn the President’s executive order if they vote and pass a bill to overturn it. I urge you to pass this immediately.”-President Mark Burton, addressing Federal Congress in 2935 1.) Will establish an emergency day fund that 25 billion from the surplus will go into. 2.) 25 billion of the surplus will be the emergency day fund. 3.) The emergency funds may not be spent unless emergency (since the game only has our money in one thing the surplus, we use the 25 billion mark as emergency day fund) 4.) Gives the commissar the executive power to use emergency funds to spend in the budget, without approval from People's Committee 5.) People's Committee may vote to overrule the commissar's executive decision to use emergency funds only by majority vote. 6.) People's Committee may vote to use emergency funds if the commissar does not use executive power to spend the funds by majoirty vote 7.) If State of Emergency is declared emergency funds will be opened up to be spent. 8.) The Emergency funds are to be spent in case Aloria has an emergency and we don’t have the money to do it we have some of the surplus (25 billion) stored away to be used, so we do not have to do drastic cuts or raise taxes to have more money in 9.) If People's Committee overrules the commissar decision to use the funds a new budget must be immediately proposed and passed (MUST BE PASSED) to return the funds back to the emergency day fund (would be the surplus) 10.) If passed the Emergency Fund Act will expire 3060 and need to be renwed. 11.) To overturn the Emergency Fund Act a new bill must be drafted and have in the despcrition for it to be overturned and needs only majoirty vote. **The Emergency Fund Act can only be overturned by People's Committee vote not executive power of commissar.** |

| Message | To make sure we never are spent into deficit. Before with the Scoiaslit Alliance and other parties, they spent Aloria into a deficit. Many Finance Ministers will show that this policy since Mark Burton made it has kept Aloria in good standings with the econonmy and being frugal. |

| Message | No no no no, you do it Robin Hood style you take it from the rich and you give it to the poor. If you want to tax you tax the rich people who can afford it, why would you tax the poor you won't get anything from them! I still cannot understand why everyone is not following the Swedish way, there taxes are high for the rich and the poor get help from the government to pay it, that way there is little difference from poor and rich there |

| Message | No that is impossible socialism was created out of the hate of capitalism. Socialism is the belief that people can exist without the interference of big business. Socialism and Communism are almost the same. You are either on the right- a capitalist or on the left - a socialist, there is no such thing as half-half |

| Date | 02:56:40, December 24, 2010 CET | From | Labour Party | To | Debating the Emergency Fund Act of 3049 |
| Message | I just did it is centre right you fool! Look on Wikipedia "Since de Gaulle's death, and the break-up of the UDR, the exact meaning of Gaullism has become somewhat unclear. In 1980s-1990s usage, "Gaullism", or "Neo-Gaullism", referred to the Rally for the Republic (now integrated into the Union for a Popular Movement), the centre-right party founded by Jacques Chirac" Key Word CENTRE RIGHT. You see? No such thing as 50/50 centre you're either on the left or the right not sitting on the fence. Anyway Charles De Gaulle was a right winger he hated socialism, hence, you too are a right winger not a centre! |

| Message | OOC: I'm center right but I'm a Moderate. If we had more Moderates things would acctualy get done. IC: "The emergency fund act is to keep this nation in great fiscal displine to make sure we never once again spend us down to a deficit and are forced to raise taxes not just on rich but on the poor. When it comes to the income the tax policies that this nation has been given by certian parties, it was not the rich who was hurting but the poor and middle class. We shouldn't have to raise people's taxes to pay for our debt, we need to keep our spending in line."-Nate Burton |
