| Message | ooc: Would everyone concerned be willing to put this bill off until we have an economy? since the pension system is related in a big way to taxation and the budget of our country it is difficult to RP, plus its a hot topic in RL becuase of that relationship. |

| Message | ooc: This doesn't set a level for the pensions (that should certainly wait until we have an economy), and it looks as though there's agreement in principle that we should have a public pension system, so I don't think it needs to wait. |

| Message | We would like to see this divided into a private + public investment, but agree that there should be a level of security provided by the government. Thus we would support this as an improvement to the current system. |
