Excellent choices, I hope that the Commisssioners will be comfortable working with the Senate and offering input on some proposals I will be offering throughout the term. There's lots to be done and this is a good group.

I would expect the panel members to garner advice and information from sources outside of themselves.

[Cincinnatus]

Thank you Mr. President for the opportunity, and I'm sure the three of us will work diligently in pursuit of this commissions goals. 

[Bacon King]

Sorry for the unexpected absence over the holiday weekend; I was staying with some relatives and was unaware they no longer had an internet connection.

[Secretary Polnut]

The President

In light of Rowan Brandon's decision to withdraw himself from Senate consideration for the position of Game Moderator. Given the dedication and attention to detail that this position requires, I have made those my primary determining factors.

I therefore nominate former Vice President Marokai for the position of Game Moderator.

Marokai will retain his seat on the Presidential Game Reform Panel for the time-being.



President Polnut

[President Marokai]

I'm more than happy to do both.

Thank you, Mr. President.

[Senator Ben]

An excellent choice, Mr. President.

[Rowan]

If I am not going to hold the job, there's no one else I'd rather see do it than Marokai.

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

Sorry for the unexpected absence over the holiday weekend; I was staying with some relatives and was unaware they no longer had an internet connection.

You put your FAMILY before the INTERNET!? are you MAD?!

[Jayhawker]

Excellent choice, Mr. President. Marokai has been excellent in every position he has served.

[A-Bob]

A wonderful choice

[Teddy (IDS Legislator)]

I'll only support this nominee on one condition.

That he agrees to change his name to Marokai GM, or Marokai Master, or Game Blue, or somesuch.

I demand he do so or I shall use the most dangerous weapon in my arsenal in order to attempt to force him. I shall share every last original joke I've ever created.

[Secretary Polnut]

PRESS RELEASE

President Polnut will attend the Afghanistan International Security Assistance Force  summit to be held in Istanbul, Turkey on 8-9 July.

TRANSCRIPT

The President's Remarks to the Atlasian Business Council Annual Dinner
The Nyman Hilton
Nyman, DC
Tuesday 5 July 2011


Thank you ladies and gentlemen for the invitation to be here with you today.

One comment that I got from a lot Atlasians as I travelled around the country during the campaign was  ‘why would you want to be president when the economy is so bad?’

Now, this isn’t exactly an unreasonable question. I know that I have certainly weighed up the considerable challenges we as a country face, but the Atlasian economy is in a precarious state, this is something we all know.

I outlined my economic platform during the campaign, but I want to expand a little on the basic tenets of my plan.

The first step is to reduce our expenditure – this, of course is basic common-sense. As in our own lives, when you’re in debt, the first thing a financial planner... or even your cab driver will tell you is that you need to find ways to reduce your spending, to find funds to put towards paying down your debt.  For a government, there are of course some different considerations.

I will ask all government departments to find economies, but I have placed clear conditions on those economies. Frontline services must be protected and we must not remove funds from effective stimulus programs. I will also ask the Department of Internal Affairs to examine all of our subsidy programs. If the subsidies do not provide any benefits for the people or if they serve no other purpose than to inflate bottom-lines, they will go.

I will also direct our Military to find savings, we will reduce our overseas military presence by 25% over the next two years. We will reduce our presence in Iraq and Afghanistan starting within this current term.

But this is only part of the formula. To use the household analogy again, when you have those debt issues, you also try to get additional sources of income.

We need to make a reappraisal of the efficacy of the current taxation systems. We need to take seriously the dereliction of the responsibility that our corporate sector has to the wider community that they also are part of. We must close the loopholes that allow a multi-billion profit making multi-national corporation to pay not a cent of tax... in fact, often the government pays massive tax refunds to these corportations.

Equally we cannot stifle economic innovation with punitive or non-competitive tax regimes.

On both of these fronts, balance and strategy are needed.

Unless things change, and people are willing to compromise, we face some very difficult choices. The services we enjoy are under a real threat.

As you will know, the Senate is considering a major reform of our Social Security system, now I should stress that I support the aims of this Bill. But I will be looking very very carefully at the economic details of this Bill. We are looking at making some aggressive cuts, so in that light we need to look at this from both the side of equity and effectiveness to ensure that this Bill does not risk our economic recovery or that this Bill’s funding cannot be maintained for the long-term to deliver the desired effects.

I want to thank the business community for their patience, but in a market economy it is a two-way street. I will close by saying this, if you need people and you can afford to bring them on, please do it. The economy cannot recover until the private sector has the confidence to expand.

Thank you all.

[Secretary Polnut]

PRESS NOTE

The President will address the nation on Monday evening to discuss the Afghanistan, Iraq and Libyan conflicts.
