Details

Status[?]: passed

Voting deadline: August 2212
Description[?]:
| In any nation, a truly healthy economy has a vibrant private sector and a public sector. Both sectors can peacefully exist side by side and it provides a truly competitive environment, while allowing for less fortunate to not be left out of the economic prosperity of the nation. By opening up a public sector next to the private, we can offer more jobs. In order to compete, each company would need to have something that would entice employees to stay. This would help to create better job security because the value of each worker would increase. 1 - This will help to ensure that if a company, which is providing healthy competition and a vital good or service can apply for help if they truly do need it. This clause won't allow for a bail out due to economic slumps or fraudulant accounting. Further, it won't help bail out companies that fail to use the support to hire more people or invest in better equipment and research. This also includes firing people who would otherwise be adequately certified/qualified for their position. Thus, this would mean that the government helps out companies that provide energy, pharmaceutal goods, education, daycare and services that help the less fortunate. 2 - While the other way is generally more friendly, if we're opening the economy to both sectors, this would open up more opportunities for both employers and potential employees. |

| Date | 02:53:16, April 08, 2006 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Balanced Economy Act of November 2211 |
| Message | Article One is sensible enough, but Article Two is insane... if we remove all the controls over who can hire which employees, we'll be back in the situation we've ahd before, with no minorities employed, and women stuck 'in the kitchen'. Article One fine... but we will be voting against the evils inherent in Article Two. |

| Random fact: Did you know you can change the official name of your nation? All you need to do is draw up a new name that is in accordance with the Nation Renaming Guide, pass a bill proposing the name change with a two-thirds majority and then post a request to Moderation on the "Renaming Requests" thread. You can change city and region names in this way too. |
