Bill: Plan of support of low income families (PSLIF)
Details
Submitted by[?]: Wind of Change
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: August 4492
Description[?]:
| These changes won't cost much money and will give equal opportunities for the most disadvantaged people. We would pay tuition for everybody because education is a right, improves our country and tuition is not expensive . Minimum wage would guarantee a good quality of life and would eliminate that social class know as "poor workers" people who work and even can't afford paying the mortgage and food if they have a family. Free pharmaceutical drugs will reduce the cost of healthcare and will improve old folks, ill and handicapped people lives. |

| Message | Won't cost much money ? Really? These measures will cost a lot of extra state funding. Good for the GDP, of course ;-) but very bad for the public finances. |
