Solving Long Term Unemployment Act (Debating)

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

We need training for trade jobs, not college education. If we flood the market with college educated people, it will make it no easier than it is right now because everyone will have a degree, which will dilute other college graduates. Evidence shows that jobs that do not require college degrees are growing, and yes, we need to support those kinds of jobs, so lets do it! Let's get people trained for manufacturing jobs, etc.

Sorry for butting in, btw, sometimes I just can't help myself.

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

No one has proposed an amendment for me, yet. I don't exactly know how you guys want to handle it, so please do so. I'd like not to see this defeated over something that trivial.

It's not my job anymore to do anything, I'm just going to eat my fast food and smile, but yes, I do hope someone introduces an amendment because this can be salvaged.

Voting on this has ended, and it has failed.

Ayes: 1 (TNF)
Nays: 4 (Yankee, Bore, Cynic, Lumine)
Abstentions: 1 (Nix)

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

I am calling a final vote on this with no objections in 24 hours. I don't actually know the procedure, but this seems dead and no need to keep beating it senseless. If I am stepping out of line, please say something nasty to me.

A final vote is now open for this bill. Please vote aye, nay or abstain. You have 5 days. Go!

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

We still have some time on this. It's passing 4-2 as it stands. Does the senate still have 10 members?

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

This bill fails by a vote of 4-5-1
