POLL: Does the federal government care about the economy?

[Dr. Cynic]

I pitched the idea of an economic downturn to Badger... But in order to work on that and other things, I need the data from the rest of the regional govt's...

As far as I know, the IDS has no "data".  Is there a regional game mod or some such to come up with these figures?

Well, the IDS isn't on the hook. I've gotten what I need from you. I don't exactly know why the other regions seemingly have this problem. I'll wait another day before I just ask Badger to give me the figures, but I'm trying to get the regions involved with this.

[Dr. Cynic]

It's good to see President Fritz and SoIA Dr. Cynic fully engaged on the issue and working with the regions.

I would urge PPT NCY to propose legislation and bring it to the floor immediately under the emergency slot based on the current funding requests by regions, plus whatever needs the federal government faces. Though the Northeast and Pacific have not yet responded to the SoIA's request, those can be amended into the bill quickly during debate, but any legislation will take 72 hours to come to a vote, so the clock should start sooner, not later.

I'm giving them till tomorrow. Or rather tonight.

I sure wish the federal government didn't care about the economy.

Well what the hell kinda game would that be?

"Quick, let's get elected!"

"Ok, we're elected, now let's just sit here for 4 months and pretend the rest of the game is for the nonexistant private sector!"

You can simulate the private sector you know. You have to want to, though.

That'll require more knowledge of private enterprise than many of us have. It is first and foremost a government simulation... Besides, who the hell wants to?
