Bill: Welfare and Aid Reform Act of 4450
Details
Submitted by[?]: Confederal Freedom Party
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: November 4451
Description[?]:
| I am introducing this bill to change many things that I believe are wrong with our great country. In life there are winners and there are losers. Nothing is ever going to change. The winners work hard and win, and the losers don't and fail. The same principle can be translated to welfare: Those on welfare probably aren't working too hard. The same instance can be applied to foreign aid, which I believe should also be abolished, except in cases where our nation benefits. These changes would give us a larger budget and would allow us to focus on more economic prosperity at home. |
