Bill: Balance Budget proposal of August 3820
Details
Submitted by[?]: Capitalist Working Families
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: April 3821
Description[?]:
Dear Mr. Speaker, Let The Capitalist Working Families thank the body for passing the 20% tax cut that gives needed economic relief to the people. However, the budget is unbalanced and we are running a deficit. Therefore, we submit this bill that balances the Federal Budget in order to increase the INVESTMENT component of GDP further. Everytime the Government borrows 1 RUT from the economy, that is 1 RUT less that the people and small businesses have to borrow to buy a house, car, or expansion of their business. Therefore, it is urgent that we balance the Federal Budget. --The CWFP |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, We will not pass this budget we do not know if this is trickery by the CWF or just a simple mistake but we will not support cutting the budget any further. Raising taxes would be more acceptable than having our government in shambles. Jenna Scherer Prime Minister |
| Date | 20:57:40, March 25, 2015 CET | From | Capitalist Working Families | To | Debating the Balance Budget proposal of August 3820 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, This budget pays for the 20% Tax cut that the Rutanian Federalist Party agreed to earlier. How can they support a massive tax cut by BORROWING to cover a deficit of nearly 18 Trillion RUT. Economic statistics show that when Government spending is increased, it CROWDS OUT private-sector investment in which our goal of a Republic is to bolster the INVESTMENT component of GDP. cf. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crowding_out_(economics) --The CWFP |
