Office of Assemblyman Gass3268

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

I believe I've stood on the side lines long enough, but this issue is getting out of hand. The debt ceiling thing that Gass and Taleyrand are pushing in opposition of this bill is currently unnecessary. The Assembly could hold a simple vote to raise the cap. It's that easy. 20% Debt is already ridiculous, it shouldn't get that high in the first place.

How can the Assembly hold a simple vote if the amount is mandated in the Constitution?  Also, a debt that is 20% of annual revenue is not all that large relatively speaking.

It is when you're talking a game where there are virtually no consequences for passing an unbalanced budget.

and yet the Mideast Assembly spent several months working to make it balanced, did it not?  so there's some sort of pressure to do it.

Because we planned on passing a balanced budget amendment!

really?  how long has this been in the works?

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Right, the understanding was that it would be close to balanced, but that did not rely on a balanced budget amendment.  I don't remember any assumption that there would be a balanced budget amendment when I was in the Assembly.

Congratulations  . . . on your demotion.
