Bill: Budget proposal of July 3823
Details
Submitted by[?]: Federal Green Party (FGP)
Status[?]: passed
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 3824
Description[?]:
| The Federal Green Reform Party (FGRP) propose to adjust the government's spending budget to better address the economic and social situation of the Democratic Republic of Solentia. This should bring us out of the slight budget deficit that we currently face without cutting too much of anything. It also increases military funding given the current internal conflict. Hopefully this proposal is more acceptable than the other recent budget proposal. The cuts to Trade and Industry are cuts that eliminate subsidies to extractive industries as well as some subsidies for other major major corporations. |

| Message | This is barely cutting anything. You don't even want to make a minor cut if it will bring about a budgetary surplus? |

| Message | "Our party desires that 200,000,000,000 SOL gets cut out of the budget. We'd cut trade and industry by 90%, education and culture by 40%, health and social services by 40%, finance by 90%, and we'd make minor cuts on everything else. Cutting this little is a big compromise for our party." ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS and Prime Minister |
