SENATE BILL: WHITE HOUSE BUDGET PROPOSAL (On the President's Desk)

[Napoleon]

Its food stamps and housing assistance. I don't know what you can cut from that unless you want to cut people out of the programs but I think that would need a separate bill.

If we can get Atlasia back to work, assitance will go down and maybe we can really balance the budget in the next few years.

I agree but the overall economic uncertainty is not fully under our control, with what's going on over in Europe causing major disruptions.

[Napoleon]

Uh, the President presents a decent budget and you guys want to nuke his efforts by adding a heap of wasteful spending? I encourage the Senators representing me (and the rest of you ) to vote against these unnecessary amendments. I see Ben continues his  approach of offering no substantive reasons for anything he does while demanding that others explain their reasons for opposing. 5 infraction points for trolling to you Senator.

[Napoleon]

Which is a 50% increase to the current projected deficit notwithstanding the optimistic revenue projections. I haven't heard anyone explain why this extra spending is necessary or what it will be used on. What is so important that the original budget didn't include?

[Napoleon]

64% of that increase in net spending is the result of the current amendment at vote, 49:19. 

Yes, the amendment I oppose.

I'd like to see the changes from the last budget.

Also, Shua, that reminds me that I am going to need your help with the regional budget when you get a chance.

[Napoleon]

It's worth noting that the DoEA and other Senators aren't proposing amendments without offering any explanations and then demanding explanations from others.

[Napoleon]

Ill wait for someone else to answer questions I have already asked. Thanks though I guess.

[Napoleon]

Ill wait for someone else to answer questions I have already asked. Thanks though I guess.

If so, please don't attack me for refusing to explain myself

I am simply pointing out hypocrisy when I see it.

[Napoleon]

Senator TJ...

Are you proposing increasing taxes on lower and middle-income people to give the wealthy a cut?

Whig War on Workers

[Napoleon]

You guys are going to have to deal with me now.

[Napoleon]

Can we increase the health spending at least back by half of what was cut? Do you guys really think that a 20-25% cut to healthcare spending will go over well?

This reflects a previous cut, it isnt a new adjustment.

[Napoleon]

This is becoming a time waster. Either create a budget slot, pass this damn thing as is, or take up your pet issues in their own bills. Two months is long enough.

[Napoleon]

Shua I might have to veto this and redraft it so let's talk about what programs are missing.

[Napoleon]

So? I think it's pretty, and if you try and stop me from letting the world know, just know that you can't!

I can. Have fun in the FEMA camp!

[Napoleon]

I think we should use some of the surplus to place a Slip and Slide in the FEMA camps, to entertain our imprisoned official.

[Napoleon]

Didn't Vote (1): Tapeworms (attention getter )

SHOCKING.

The vote was only open for 26 hours.
