Bill: Phone Service Spending Act of 4203
Details
Submitted by[?]: Dorvische Allianz für Freiheit
Status[?]: defeated
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 4204
Description[?]:
| Speaker, We cannot continue with this policy of pampering citizens who are more than capable to pay for themselves. Telephone services are not expensive, nor are they necessary in order to live a good life, which is why we propose that we will only regulate the prices from now on, without taking the responsibility to pay for these services completely. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change The government's policy concerning phone services.
Old value:: Telephone lines are provided free of charge to all citizens.
Current: There are no regulations on phone service.
Proposed: The state subsidizes the phone service of low income families, and regulates the rates providers can charge for phone service.

| Message | Speaker, Needless?! We need every Dolgar we can take while we still can! The economy could take some massive hits in the near future, which is why we need to prepare our reserves and cut our spendings. Besides: Why is the Minister of Education and Culture commenting on economic affairs? Mark Hagen |

| Message | Mr Speaker, With the economic difficulties hitting Terra, we need to be as cautious as we can and build up the biggest surplus that we can get. This is a sensible proposal in this light, and we shall support. Rebecca Wehausen, FD Finance Spokesperson |

| Message | Speaker, If the honourable Minister would have read the news, she would have seen my face in the newspapers commenting on the government's economic policy as the DAF's new Shadow Minister of Finance. This is my area of expertise. As far as I know, I've only commented on bills that matter to my sector. Besides: I don't care whether we have a deficit or not. With the current situation in Terra, anything could change in mere minutes. We need to build up reserves while we still can, which is why we should cut unnecessary funding for things like the telephone service of citizens. Frank Hagen Frank Hagen |

| Message | Mr Speaker, I saw 'Frank Hagen' in the newspapers, not 'Mark Hagen'. And the tax income will just be slashed by a billion in a minute is shockingly dumb. Tirza Sommer Minister of Education and Culture |

| Message | Speaker, A Minister of Education that can't read. Spiffing. http://forum.particracy.net/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=353&start=660 DAF's Hagen warns government: " The economy won't help itself " ".... the Shadow Minister for Finance for DAF Mark Hagen ...". I know my own name, thank you very much. How is that shockingly dumb? Who knows what will happen next in Aloria? Who knows if an Alorian bank will fall, losing millions of Dorvish assets? Does the PP know what such an immense bankruptcy could mean for Dorvik? The loss of revenue for the state, etc. Sure, it won't be a billion, but it would be a lot of Dolgars. There's no room for being naïve now. We must prepare. Rather safe than sorry, speaker. Mark Hagen, DAF Spokesperson for Finance |
