SB 20-22: Federal Budget FY 2020

[YE]

This incorporates all bills passed since March, correct? Does this include my Buffet rule bill (that never got scored) for example or no? Or has that not become law yet?

If the GM department was even somewhat active, I'd agree with the 2 Lincoln Senators. But, at this point, I'd actually agree with DC but be open to amending the bill down the line if corrections need to be made (sorta like how as Fremont FM, I helped make corrections to Truman's budget that contained mistakes and even tried to cut carbon taxes on a premise that turned out to be a budget error).

The revenue estimates include the Buffett Rule. I can add a line item that specifics the approximate revenue the rule change generated.

Thanks for clarifying. Just making sure.

Given that, I'd really would prefer to see this passed the Senate and amend if needed. And honestly if the rest of Labor caucus votes this down, I don't think it'd put DC, who has been the only one actually trying to get numbers and do stuff as of late, in a very fun spot going forward.

Actually the buffet bill and estate tax haven't passed yet apparently per the noticeboard.

It kind of reminds me of early 2013 during Marokai/Duke administration, which was a Labor/TPP ticket.  TPP Senators killed a bunch of Marokai's reform proposals, they had 4/10 seats and Labor had 2 or 3.

At least they were (presumably) due to ideological differences.

DC is the only one giving a crap about numbers and the budget and he's getting shooted down by his own party almost out of nowhere. We've generally been pretty productive and cohesive legislative wise during Adam's presidency so far. Let's not screw up now.

If only someone had suggested a means to expedite stuff in the House>Senate backlog


20th Regional Senate Discord DM:
NCY168910/07/2019
I just motioned for final votes on several of the VP controlled bills. We do not have any new bills in the queue for Senate originated stuff.  Just like last time, if there is stuff in the House > SEnate queue that you want to expedite go ahead and introduce independently in the Senate introduction thread and we can get it done much quicker then if it it sits and waits. Just be sure to PM Pericles when you do this so it doesn't get brought up twice.

NCY168910/13/2019
New bill on the floor
also Adam wants that bill in slot 17, which is VP controlled. Pericles doesn't have it presently displayed on his copy of the noticeboard but it can be viewed on mine. Slot 17 (Emergencies) Restricted Use/Presidential Authorization  - VP Administered

Since:
Ends:
@everyone Also I must continue to pound this drum, but we need more bills.

One of us should try to get MB to introduce his House stuff to the Senate when he swears in tomorrow.

On paper they were all "centrists". Of course that can mean totally different things. Benconstine,  Averroes Nix, Oakvale and Franzl were the Senators in question if memory serves me.

They also voted down Marokai's GM nominee (twice). Some guy named Adam: https://uselectionatlas.org/FORUM/index.php?topic=170079.msg3647753#msg3647753


Granted I might have overlooked a PM on this, but I would have assisted DC to the extent that I could if asked. I am not an expert on the cost and adjustments, but I could have lifted some of his burned with compilation of passed stuff so he could focus on the other stuff.

I had thought Adam had a team of people working on this behind the scenes until just a week ago.

IIRC the GM department going MIA kind of caused the budget committee to fall apart.

Guess my public harping at like 3 AM worked.

FWIW this passed 4-0-2-0.
