Bill: Welfare Reform
Details
Submitted by[?]: Classical Liberal 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: July 4026
Description[?]:
| The Neo-Democratic believes in a much more reduced welfare state and safety net. We believe it is primarily up to the individual to raise themselves up the economic and social ladders, and it is their responsibility to save for their retirement and spend their money wisely. The government should only help the truly disenfranchised; it should not babysit those who cannot properly handle their money. |
