Bill: Trash the Recycling Law
Details
Submitted by[?]: Liberty Party
Status[?]: passed
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: June 2237
Description[?]:
| Recycling is just plain bad economics. The clue is the fact that the government has to fund recycling by taking money from people at gunpoint. If recycling was economically reasonable, the bottle and can manufacturers would be paying you for your used items. Since both the land market (for landfill) and commodity (oil and metals) markets are all pretty efficient, recycling and garbage will ultimately take care of themselves. |

Proposal[?] to change Government-sponsored recycling programs.
Old value:: The government funds recycling facilities for public use.

| Message | Disagree. Not also recycling facilities have imediat effects on the environment, but also they help correct unbalances that may be much more expensive to the public in the future |
