Bill: Economic Liberation Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: People's Reform
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 4679
Description[?]:
| Competition is the cornerstone of any healthy economy. While government oversight, rules, regulations, and scrutiny are necessary and proper, a planned economy is not in the best interest of consumers or the overall economy. We should, immediately, move to liberate sectors of the economy from total state domination while still regulating these sectors and protecting the consumer from abuse at the hand of corporations. |

If a player is allotted seats in a Cabinet bill and has not filled in names for the relevant candidate position, then the program will automatically fill in the positions with names which might not necessarily be appropriate for the Cultural Protocols. |
