Bill: Market Deregulation Bill
Details
Submitted by[?]: New Judicial Alliance
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: January 2194
Description[?]:
| The Baltusian legislation still allows for the nationalisation of industry under special circumstances. This is nothing more than a government sponsored provision that allows politicians to play capitalists by throwing even more good money at already bad investments. The government should worry more about creating a sound economy that attracts investors, than attempting to manage a kindergarten for failed businesses. |
Proposals
Article 1
Proposal[?] to change Government policy on industry and subsidies to industrial operations.
Old value:: The government acts as an investor of last resort, by nationalizing failing industries that provide vital goods or services.
Current: The government does not intervene in the market nor provide any form of subsidies/relief to industries.
Proposed: The government does not intervene in the market nor provide any form of subsidies/relief to industries.

| Message | Seems to me that its much easier to end subsidies propping up inefficient organisations and keep the current law rather than vote to leave ourselves without a safety net but to keep whiling away taxpayers money on inefficient businesses. But thats just us. |
