Details
Submitted by[?]: National Thomasian Party
Status[?]: defeated
Votes: This bill proposes to change the allocation of funds in the budget. It requires more than half of the legislature to vote yes. This bill will pass as soon as the required yes votes are in, or will be defeated if unsufficient votes are reached on the deadline.
Voting deadline: October 2209
Description[?]:
| The Nassionalistes Tomassián propose a huge increase in Health care and Education budgets. Through good health and education, currently unavailable to the working class Mordusian due to chronic underfunding by the government and high prices in the private sector, the workign class may finally be able to improve their circumstances and throw of the shackles of the classist system. This will be funded in part by tax rises. We will accept some debate on exact figures but the nature of this budget we refuse to change. |

| Message | We support the budget increases but hope we could make increases without tax increases. We will vote yes on this, though, regardless of a tax increase. |
| Date | 14:45:29, April 01, 2006 CET | From | Clare Quilty Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of April 2208 |
| Message | We will vote yes on this bill even if there is a tax increase. |
| Date | 23:43:38, April 02, 2006 CET | From | Unio Liberál daď Ordio Mordusián | To | Debating the Budget proposal of April 2208 |
| Message | We are voting against this. We can't accept such an increase in HSS and EC. It doesn't mean we don't want more money in this area, but that's too much. We also would like an increase in Infrastructure and Justice; cuts in Finance, Internal Affairs and Foreign Affairs. This way we could use our surplus without a neccesity of higher taxes. Anyway, this budget is unacceptable and we hope it will be defeated. |

| Random fact: Particracy does not allow real-life brand names (eg. Coca Cola, McDonalds, Microsoft). However, in the case of military equipment brand names it is permitted to use simple number-letter combinations (eg. T-90 and F-22) borrowed from real life, and also simple generic names, like those of animals (eg. Leopard and Jaguar). |
