Senate Bill: Pacific Crisis Stimulus Act (Enacted)

[Sbane]

NM-AM has certainly engaged in economic terrorism against the Pacific.

The most important thing we can do right now is to project stability in order to improve the economy. Stabilizing the bond market is th best way of doing so. Infrastructure projects are great, but they won't have that much of an effect.

NM-AM has certainly engaged in economic terrorism against the Pacific.

And how would we prosecute them for that? We have no federal laws re: "economic terrorism." I am consulting with Attorney General DemPGH about what kind of legal action would be appropriate, but I am inclined to believe that we have no constitutional authority to eliminate the NMAM or otherwise curtail their ability to participate in the democratic process.

Why couldn't infrastructure projects have some effect? Rapid implementation would be essential, of course, but I'm not sure why we couldn't write a stimulus bill that encourages this.

I think at least censuring the NM-AM is in order, even if we don't have the authority to shut them down.

I am not against an infrastructure bill, I just don't think it will be that effective. It doesn't mean we shouldn't do it, because we do need infrastructure improvements in any case.

All numbers are flexible and some of this wording is just tentative and shlal need refinement. Can we get Adam to break away from his aggressive CYA to provide us some numbers? P 

Sbane, how does 1.4.3 suit you?

I am fine with it. It should be obvious that those who are responsible for the mess shouldn't be Involved in the cleanup.

[Sbane]

I have to admit I'm not comfortable about voting for creating/expanding the deficit.

Actually this would be the right time to deficit spend since we are looking at a recession.

Excellent idea Superique!
