SENATE BILL: Duke’s Let’s Put Atlasia to Work Program (Law'd)

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

You are presently pursuing repealing that tax as standalone legislation, correct?


Would you be game for attaching it to one of these job releated bills, and then provided it passes, withdraw the legislation?

Ah, no, it's easy to get confused.  I introduced legislation repealing the Break the Shell Corporations Act, not the Break the Chains Act. 

As for this tax we are talking about, I think it should be lower at least, but I could also see using a smaller tax as a way to fund a loan program.

Okay so you game for an amendment that lowers the tax and redirects the remainder to the loan program?

Yes, depending on the loan program.  I don't think I can support just handing the money over to the private banks.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

What program would you prefer then?

What program would you prefer then?

Would it make sense to just restart the Small Business Administration and make the loans through that?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I would be fine with it provided that of course there is not some other agency that is serving part of the same purpose and could be slated to also do this as well.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

So I guess no one has any idea about an agency serving any of the same role, so we a go for reinstating the SBA?

Duke and I have discussed formatting a banking structure for both loan programs previously discussed.  Coordination is lacking however, in large part due to finals.  In any case, I think we've come to the agreement that we'd rather run the loan programs through a government run institution, rather than "to banks".

Yes, sorry for the delay, but thankfully I have made it through finals unscathed, so we should be able to introduce something more workable in regard to the loan provision.

[Adam Griffin]

OK, so I just saw the past few replies to this but I had already written this, so I'll propose it anyway since nothing else is going on at the moment.

That amendment is fine, but I think Cinci and I decided we would rather run this through some government run organization as opposed to handing the banks the money and collective the interest payments in a secondary manner.

I'm going to try to have something written shortly, although I will admit I'm not sure which government organization to use or how exactly to structure it.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Okay then Friendly if Duke is okay with it.

Amendment 61:10 by Griffin has been adopted.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Ok, do we want to set this up and funnel it through one bank or something connected to the government or just go with it as it is? I am fine either way, but I understand if some have reservations about handing banks money with strings attached (though we have done it before).

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I am fine with either option at this point.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I realize the concerns here, but remmeber people are out of work here.

So anyone have a text to offer or even just discuss formulating some kind of bank or gov't structure?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

How about cutting the chain business tax in half, and dedicating the revenues from that tax (about $19 bil annual) to a reestablished SBA?  Is that something that people could support in place of the current Section 2 of this bill?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

I would be fine with that. How about the President?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

What? Why do we even have a chain tax?

I am fine establishing a SBA or some equivalent agency rather than going through private banks. I do want to allow municipalities to take advantage of this program if some of them want to get a loan to upgrade their facilities or better yet, invest in green technology. If we can ensure that, I am all for this compromise.

Cinci and I were discussing funneling this program through a government agency anyway.

How is this?

Whatever happened to the green jobs part?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

We already give out incentives for green jobs, apparently, so it was redundant.

[TNF]

I object to the amendment.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Duke you like the amendment or not?


Not that it matters with TNF's objection anyway.
