| Message | Considering our budget defecit at present, our Finance minister has reccomended we vote against. The Thought is there and we're in favor for it, but the budget would need to be cut to 380B approximately do do that. We can't even get a lighter budget cut to pass. |

| Message | We welcome this, we believe the adverse impact upon the deficit will be temporary. The money diverted from the government coffers will exert downward pressure on interest rates, by increasing the supply of money available to borrowers. It will stimulate job growth by making more money available for the financing of capital properties, plants, and capital equipment, for sales of automobiles and appliances. And it will make mortgages more readily available to first-time home buyers, which will not only allow citizens to convert from renters to homeowners, but will stimulate additional job growth in the form of new home construction. More directly, of course, it will stimulate immediate job growth in the big ticket luxury item sector. We believe the revenue trough resulting from passage of this bill will be momentary and insignificant in contrast to the long-term economic growth. |
