GOT MATH SKILLS?????

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Contact the President. You are being drafted!!!

[S019]

What?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

We need free lance scoring work done on a couple of bill segments to finish the budget.

Do it for your country!!!

[Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Bodies for Biden]

Yes! We want YOU to estimate tax revenue on fracking and other tedious info for our budget! Enlist NOW!

I have always done the math for Frémont's budget. Why can't our LAZY senators do the same?

If only there were some provision that required this be done before bills were actually passed.

But I recall a certain party raising hell about "encumbering the legislative process" a couple years back. I wonder who that was.

[President Punxsutawney Phil]

Could I be of help?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Could I be of help?

Yes, PM/DM Scott.

We're making pretty good headway in the DM chat, actually. I already posted the doc which lists every expenditure since passage of the FY2021 budget. A few items need to be addressed, but once it's all accounted for I intend to get this finished and signed quickly, with all the information for the next budget (which comes soon after we finish this one) readily available. I'm not expecting much from anyone this weekend, obviously.

We have no such rule in Frémont, yet it has not been a problem for us. In fact, I find it is much easier that way! Perhaps I should be the Senate.

Unsurprising our great FRÉMONTER president is able to break through the gridlock and restore the national credit. Decadent Eastern culture has addled the brains of many in the Senate, fortunately the Westerners are here to save the day!

The problem with PayGo was it required every bill that spent money to make little, tiny changes to the tax code which then had to be added up at the end of the year. The superior Frémontian system is to make all necessary tax changes at once during the budget process. That does not mean we should not have cost estimates for bills when they are being debated! How dumb!

I wasn't talking about Paygo there, Truman.

So if I introduce a resolution requiring Senators to submit a cost estimate with bills raising revenue/spending money, Labor won't block it on the same grounds that paygo was tossed (encumbering the legislative process) ?

Also Paygo once again is being blamed for a pre-existing problem that still exists today and existed long before in standard western radical tradition (kind of like a certain someone did with bicameralism a few weeks ago).

These micro adjustments to tax and spending, have had to be compiled as part of the budget process going back to 2010 when folks like Badger, Purple State and others created the budget process that was used from 2010- 2015 and 2017 to today.

All paygo did was take the existing situation and dictate that deficit spending be avoided for new programs via dedicated revenue streams. Therefore, your complaint is with the existing situation, not with Paygo.

I can only speak for myself, but if I were a senator and this rule were proposed, I would vote for it.

Correct.

Looking forward to every bill being put under a funding microscope except for the military which miraculously gets a pass every time, just like real life.

This really doesn't effect funding except to say that if you are going to allocate something it has to be a specific amount as one of the Spark bills we came across was rather vague leaving the amount to be calculated too.

We have cut military funding in Atlasia at several points, so I am not sure how relevant this is.

Paygo was great.
