We will have a question and answer period for at least 48 hours.

What can you provide that will be of benefit to the workers and farmers here in the Mideast Oblast?

It appears that the candidate has little interest in participating in the question and answer session. Not that any interest is really necessary, considering the balance of power in this legislature, but at least pretending to care about the confirmation process would be a nice gesture.

Increased maternity leave, child allowances, and an overhauled pension system.

What changes would you propose regarding the pension system?

1) Allow Social Security to invest in equities, real estate etc. CPP does this fairly well and it reduces the amount of payroll taxes needed to finance the system.

2) Reduce payouts at the top level. There's a progressive component to SS. They calculate an average inflation adjusted income per month and base the payout on that. The payouts are something like 90% of the first $800, 32% of $800-$4800 and 15% of everything after that.

Basically I'm trying to make Social Security more sustainable without increasing payroll taxes.

I guess we can take this to a final vote.  Members will vote AYE, NAY, or ABSTAIN.  This will be a 48-hour vote.

Voting is now closed. The AYEs are 3, and the NAYs are 1, with 1 ABSTAIN. The AYEs have it, and DC Al Fine has been confirmed.
