O.K here's a suggestion; we vote to waive the budget requirement and get an ammendment passed that makes our budget system sane and workable (for more than one reason it's neither right now). But we also get to work on legislation designed to help the economy back on it's feet and to cut down on bureaucratic overhead and waste. Then we pass a budget that is designed to further aid economic recovery.
I would just like to note before a vote commences that removing the restriction that our budget
must be balanced does not mean that we
can't pare it down. It just means that we can accept reality without needlessly endangering the livelihood of Atlasians through either huge tax hikes or massive cuts to essential programs.
