Bill: Budget proposal of September 2181
Details
Submitted by[?]: Radical Democratic 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: May 2182
Description[?]:
| With the recent approval of the Military Reforms, the military budget will need to be increased. With the approval of the Choice in Health Care Act, the Budget Office estimates that public health spending will go down, from INS 200 billion to INS 75 billion, as middle-class people will have to pay for their own health insurance. A tax bill is being sent to the Assembly at the same time, to adjust the tax burden to the new spending. OOC: Some tidying up may be needed later, as the game does weird things to GDP when you change public spending. |
