[ilikeverin]

Should we vote for Prime Verin?

[hawkeye59]

No, but I think in future we should do elections in Althing thread. Just my two cents

The Keep The Least Unemployment Rate Act
The Midwest will be making more important things, such as statues of Governors, the Midwest Mt.Rushmore, and giving more power/money to Midwesterners. Also, anyone caught being mad at someone or in a bad mood for no reason/not accepting a *hughughug* shall be immediately be given cake to cheer them up, be given a *hughughug*, and will be cheered up by a playing of "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life", by the Official Midwest Happiness Bureau, which will give hundreds of new jobs to the Midwest.
Let's debate

[Thomas D]

Great Bill.

What's not to like?

[hawkeye59]

let's vote

[Proud Lieberal from Northeast]

Needs to be passed ASAP in a light of this:

Volume 2, Issue 1.1

April Regional Unemployment Numbers

Federal Unemployment Rate  9.2

IDS   8.9
ME    7.9
MW   9.9
NE    7.8
PC  11.6

So...

[hawkeye59]

1-0 this passes

[Yelnoc]

FWI, job creation measured in "hundreds" won't make a dent in the unemployment rate.  The Midwest is facing an economic crisis because of low agricultural demand and a fall in mining output, both due to foreign nations increases exports of both products types.  Unless you address this issue, Midwest unemployment will continue to rise.

[hawkeye59]

Save our Jobs Act
The Midwest will give 50,000,000$ to funding of agriculture. The Midwest shall also give 40,000,000$ to funding of mining. The Midwest shall also give a bonus of 30,000,000$ to any company that grows crops and mines in the Midwest (or, less preferably, but okay) other parts of Atlasia.

This bill doesn't make any sense.

Since when lack of sense concerns you?

Valid point.  Still, I have no idea why we should be directly subsidize businesses.  That doesn't seem very liberal at all.

Believe me, I'd rather nationalize all damn big business, but SoIA would be even more mean to our region

Why would I be mean if you nationalized regionalized it?  IIRC, North Dakota has all sorts of fun state-run industries.

debate this
Official Job Act
The Midwest shall be building dams, natural habitat areas, and  giving more power to the Midwest (I.E.: TVA of the Midwest), and at least 40% of Midwestern crops sold must be made from the Midwest, hereby creating thousands (or more) of new jobs in the Midwest.

[ilikeverin]

Can we split this bill in two?  I think any bill which mandates that a certain percentage of our crops must come from the Midwest would be a disaster.
