FY 2015 Budget (Passed)

[windjammer]

Nay I guess

[windjammer]

I introduce that and I object.
The biggest losers would be the poors when you cut some things like food stamp.

[windjammer]

Nay

Before voting for any cuts, I would like to know what currently the deficit is.
And I will never vote to cut food stamps, because that would definitely hurt the poors.

This seems to be a good proposal.

[windjammer]

An 18% tax on marijuana, a product less harmful than both tobacco and alcohol, seems pretty insane.

It should be raised, indeed.

[windjammer]

Health care is going to be cut by 60 billions???

[windjammer]

Nay FTR

[windjammer]

I m not going to support this level of cuts in social security.  This would make the life of the poors much more difficult.

[windjammer]

I'm new in the Senate and I'm seeing the debate on the last year's budget and for the revenue, we had the exact numbers. Why this year we haven't the exact numbers?

Simply because the actual Atlasia wasn't the same than the former Atlasia

[windjammer]

NAY
I share Lief's concerns about inflation

[windjammer]

By the way,
Would it be possible to have an estimation of the revenue?

[windjammer]

I'm going to suggest we suspend debate until we get an idea of revenue.

I agree with polnut,

[windjammer]

If at the end of the week, we don't have the estimated revenues yet, we will have to pass a,budget without that

I was tired of not having any number at all. This is the situation where the numbers would be exactly the same than last year, but of course, that's probably not the case, but we needed to have an estimate.

[windjammer]

Why not increasing taxes on marijuana and alcohol and put them at the same level than marijuana? We would get a lot of new revenues, and it would fairer. If marijuana is legalized, why should it be taxed more than alcohol and cigarettes?

[windjammer]

Is that an amendment windjammer?

No, just to help us .

[windjammer]

So with the financial transaction tax, we now have 50 Billion more?

So I guess we're not in deficit?

[windjammer]

Well, thank you Barnes, Cynic and Lumine for these predictions. If you could as well give an estimation about the current deficit/surplus, that would be great too .

[windjammer]

Are citizens allowed to post with their concerns?

Yes

[windjammer]

NAY

bore summed up my views.

[windjammer]

Any idea of the current deficit or surplus?

[windjammer]

FWIW: Kal is working on that!

[windjammer]

I'm just curious, considering that Atlasia has likely passed budget surplus every year for quite a long time. At which level is the debt now?

[windjammer]

AYE
