Are you going to tell us what the Unemployement, and inflation rates are at, or is that the same as RL, 9.6%.

Unemployment was pegged at 9.5% in Brandon's post. Once the PPT is elected we should work on a stimulus package.

Eliminate all taxes for 6 months .

He said a stimulus package, not a government collapsing package.

Any taxes breaks will be opposed from me, expect in a few cases.

It's a good deed, yes, but it's an extremely far-reaching bill that restricts trade with many important trading partners.

Countries affected by that are not important trading partners.

The idea that we should dictate social policies to other nations that we cannot come to a consensus on at home is ridiculous.

There is serious opposition to legalise homosexuality?

Gay marriage, yes.  I don't think this should really be a deal breaker.  We don't mind countries prohibiting free speech or incredibly poor working conditions but this bothers us?  Its feel-good and economically bad

Gay marriage is not relevant to this debate. I don't see how stopping free trade with countries who are dumping their cheap labor products here, while we are not able to sell more Atlasian products in that country, since the population is too poor to buy them is a problem.

For countries prohibiting free speech and with poor working conditions, we all know than there is a major problem to fix before.

Great so years of progress in relations with Egypt and movement towards democracy there and in Afghanistan, and Pakistan has just been potentially thrown out the window for feel good legislation that will "hopefully" lead these countries to not continue to criminalise homosexual behavior.

This have no effect on those three countries! We never had free trade agreements with them!
