Bill: Laissez-Faire Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Grand National Party
Status[?]: passed
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: March 3492
Description[?]:
Mr Speaker, government is the destructive force that keeps stifling our economy, and must thus be barred completely from manipulating market price mechanisms, including on the value of money, labor and stocks. We also have to stop the creation of bubbles by fraudulent central bank practices such as quantitative easing and make sure that businesses who fail to meet customer demands are allowed to go bust in order to clear the table in a recession.
