Bill: A rational Budget that won't kill people
Details
Submitted by[?]: Dolgarian Imperial Revivalists
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: March 2142
Description[?]:
| Stripping essential services out from the budget to line the Rich's pocket, with the result that those less well off cannot afford healthcare, or for that matter a decent education is tantamount to putting a gun to the head of ordinary hard working Dolgarians. Equally, keeping defence spending at the ridiculously low level proposed by a certain other party, that can best be described as CU, but without the good manners, is tantamount to handing our country to our enemies. This goes hand-in-hand with our rational taxation bill. |

| Message | I'd not put defence as the primary budget... |
| Date | 12:09:28, November 16, 2005 CET | From | Dolgarian Imperial Revivalists | To | Debating the A rational Budget that won't kill people |
| Message | I think that its essential to preserve national security to have a defence expenditure of at least 700,000,000,000. I would prefer health spending to be higher, but well this is the essence of compromise is it not? On a side note, it could be possible to snip 200,000,000,000 from the defence budget so as to bring the total budget in at 3,010,000,000,000, maybe even losing 10,000,000,000 from the Foreign Affairs budget to bring the total budget down to exactly 3,000,000,000,000. |

| Message | We privatized health care, we dont need all that money for health services. Also, as you said, we only "Need" about 200,000,000,000 for defense anyways. Whats wrong with the temporarily enacted budget, that provides 500,000,000,000 for defense, and not 1 trillion. Your budgets are rather Education/Health Centric. |

| Message | And I am pretty offended that you say I dont have good manners. You are the one that ignored/s the requests of every other party. Also, dont blame me for the defense budget. IT WAS YOU!!! YOU WERE THE ONE THAT WAS HANDING OUR COUNTRY TO OUR ENEMIES!!! YOU DUP, NOT ME! lol. I was the one that increased it from the 10 billion YOU supplied, to 500 Billion (or about half your proposed budget that is way too high) dude you are just losin your mind. Dont blame me for your failures. I am perfectly willing to compromise on issues. But you are just wacked out left field. |

| Message | From now on, every one of my bill proposals is going to have a hugely false lie about you in the description, and implying that you are ruining the country by enacting legislation that you never supported or voted for. Thats not rude, is it, or are my manners getting in the way of good taste?? |
