Bill: Budget Proposal of June 2173
Details
Submitted by[?]: New Daio Party
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: February 2174
Description[?]:
| Defence budget increased to begin to truely rebuild the standing military. Now that we have the money, I'm restoring their funding to prior levels as promised. Infrastructure reduced slightly to divert funding to Science. Education budget increased. IA budget increased due to increasing population. Trade and industry budget decreased. We currently have no subsidy of business (corporate welfare). I still must insist, however, that we consider reducing corporate taxes. It is pretty much the only thing we can do to encourage growth at this point, as I wouldn't advocate any kind of subsidy. |
