Description[?]:
| The Union Hosienne-Démocrate propose to adjust the government's spending budget to better address the economic and social situation of the Fédération de Canrille, Kanjor et La Tondelle. Many small towns in Kanjor and across southern Seleya are suffering from economic malaise. The rise of massive corporate farms has led to the decline of small landholders. In turn, small town shops have been unable to stay open as the number of people supported by the land has declined precipitously. These bad economic times have led to depopulation as many citizens, especially the young and educated, leave for the big cities. Photographer Joël Bouhier has traveled in one small corner of Silliers and taken these photos in one small town, just one of many: 1. https://thisfragiletent.files.wordpress.com/2015/07/reversing-poverty-require-009.jpg 2. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/09/02/article-2408624-1B8BA853000005DC-231_964x603.jpg 3. http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2011/09/17/article-2038466-0DEFF7AA00000578-196_634x419.jpg In picture 3, local UHD politician Ignace Bocuse stands in front of just one of the many abandoned small farms in his district. The recent "1 Million New Businesses Initiative" http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=582554), while yet to be funded, has allowed great opportunity for small town businesses to get back on their feet. However, they need more foot traffic through their doors. Therefore, the UHD, wishes for the national government, alongside provincial and local governments, to create a fund (through a series of advertising, tax incentives, and grants) that will encourage a "return" to the small towns of Kanjor. All of the nation's small towns should be studied by a Ministry of the Interior study (by looking at demographics, poverty levels, welfare rolls, age, financial stability, and social service availability) and classified as "Critically Endangered", "Endangered", "Vulnerable", "Near Threatened", "Single-business Dependent" or "Least Concern". Those classified "Critically Endangered", "Endangered", "Vulnerable", or "Near Threatened" should become eligible for tiered assistance in moving families and entrepreneurs to their locations. Families, should be encouraged to take up residence and improve on rural or small town properties; they are to receive tax incentives for improving the and making them livable once again. Likewise, new businesses should be encouraged through various means to move to these small towns to provide goods and services for the growing populations. Integration aid may be needed for families that move from larger cities to smaller towns deemed "Endangered" by the Ministry of the Interior study. decide to return which should be provided through the Ministry of Health & Social Services. The UHD believes that the full funding of this will require ₭15 billion over THREE years (₭5 billion per year) to the Ministry of the Interior and asks the government to provide ₭3.5 billion in funding for Ministries of Health & Social Services. |

| Message | Apparently the PSD does not believe in helping the working classes in the small towns and villages of the country. I'm sure they must prefer that those areas rot and die out because they are simply living the "idiocy of rural life". How hypocritical! It must be that some working classes are more equal than others. For shame! Olivie Eveline Guichard Secretary-General of the UHD |
