S.19.2-9: Southern Infrastructure Act (Debating)

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

I've said this before, but the 'other/discretionary' category is NOT just a random fund that you can draw from. Things like Agriculture, forestry, fishing and hunting, electric power, gas supply, solid waste management, sewerage, and parks and recreation are included in the 'other/discretionary' category. If you want to fund this, just take all 15 billion from the surplus.

We did add 30 billion dollars worth of funds to the account though, without specifying a source for them. $10 Billion of that was used for the Disaster Relief Fund, but the remaining $20 billion remains available.

Recall, however, that the CANDU reactor eats up 10 billion from discretionary per year. IRL, state-only funding in the 'other' categories is 31 billion.

So if 20 billion from discretionary is used for the reactor and the disaster relief, plus 5 for infrastructure, while 'Other' is only allocated 50 billion, that means something important will be underfunded.

Uh, when did the Southern Government authorize funds for a CANDU Reactor? Per Wikipedia, in RL, such reactors exist in:

Canada: 19 and 5 decommissioned.
South Korea: 4.
China: 2.
India: 2, 13 active CANDU-derivatives, and 3 CANDU-derivatives under construction.
Argentina: 1, and 1 planned.
Romania: 2, and 2 dormant part-constructed.
Pakistan: 1.

Wow the South is a joke sometimes.

But yeah, just take it all from the surplus then.
