Regional & Local Fiscal Relief Act

Nay.

I understand Hashemites concerns, but I think the Senate is more accepting of the argument to have different handouts to regions than he may have assumed. If I lived in a well off region I would expect my region to receive less. That's just common sense.

Since our Senator can't seem to support the Northeast, I urge someone else to help us out. This is appalling. We are having our own problems, and we have proven that we are responsible enough to put the funds to good use.

We are in the best shape economically in the country, we should be getting the least amount of funds. Stop trying to turn everything into partisan attacks.

We're in complete agreement here, the Northeast doesn't really need much money.

Yes, we do need more money. We have economic problems of our own and also are the heart of the financial industry.

Damn it. Read the GM numbers, read my post on page 4. I've been over my reasons a million times.

Pray tell, how much do you propose?

17 billion for the NE

You're kidding. You region needs less than any other region, by far.

I have a feeling we may have to rely on the GM to be an arbiter on what regions require what. I'm happy with whats been floated for the Mideast.

Nay.

One swallow doesn't make a summer. If they simply choose to burn money yet again then they will suffer the economic consequences as a result. It would be an incredibly stupid thing to do and something that the GM can comment upon.
