Yes, sir.

On that note, I will begin working on regional budget reports in the next week or two to make sure you're all updated on the current state of the regions, budget-wise at least.

Could the GM provide the Mideast with some more information regarding the labor abuses?

Yeah, I just saw your proposal in the Assembly, so I'll work on a quick report for tomorrow/today (if I forget, please follow up).

NOTICE

I'll be on leave until Sunday. I have a pretty busy weekend and won't be available.

Until then, everyone enjoy your weekend and try not to pull any surprises before I get back, eh? Wink

If the Pacific shuts off trade with us, we shall do without Pacific-made products. I for one shall not desert this region.

I much prefer the game drive me than my ideas drive the game. This is actually a fun thing to report on that I can analyze pretty easily while it is actually led by citizens and the people that play the game.

I'd like to please see some analysis on the 'Reasonable Military Funding Act's" impact on our military budget and what levels would be most appropriate to maintain a strong defense while being fiscally responsible. Thank you.

I cannot tell you this until the federal government forms a budget from which these cuts can be made. Until then, there is no point of reference for these cuts.

Rest assured, I have begun pushing for the return of the budget process to the government. It will be a slow process and I have started a thread here to find a solution. I urge you to research the issue (budgets used to be mandatory, but that process was halted by the 25th Amendment) and to make your concerns known by contacting your senators.

EDIT: I just checked your campaign thread and realize you are in support of that initiative. Great! Smiley

I know we don't have a budget yet, I was just hoping for some estimates. I have made bringing back the budget a cornerstone of my campaign and hope to work very closely with you if elected. I have made it a priority to observe and act upon GM reports rather than ignore them. Thank you

I can tell you that a reduction in any department's budget by 50% is bound to have drastic effects on the ability of that department to conduct future operations. As stipulated in the legislation, the exact effects of the cuts would rely on the plan crafted by the DoEA, so for your question I would recommend that you request this information from the SoEA, who will have much greater oversight over what gets cut and what gets funded.

Of course, it will be difficult for the SoEA to tell you what he is cutting if he doesn't have a budget. So it's all a circle with no answer for now.

Thank you for your support of my budget initiative. Keep up the pressure to get it done and good luck in your race.

National News

Atlasian National Healthcare Act Goes Into Effect
The following are the relevant statistics for the Atlasian National Healthcare Act as passed by the Senate:

Current number of uninsured Atlasians =  40 million
Projected # uninsured under Act = 25 million
Projected # to join ANHCP = 285 million

Projected 10 year cost of Act = $3.4 trillion
Projected 10 year revenue from Act = $3.45 trillion

Analysis
With an available universal program under the Act, this office projects that 25 million currently uninsured Atlasians will receive health insurance coverage with the passage of this Act. Without individual mandates or subsidies to cover premiums for the poor, few poor Atlasians will join the new government program, despite the absence of co-payments and deductibles. With no mandate and new taxes on benefits, those wealthy Atlasians who had refrained from purchasing an insurance plan now have a disincentive from buying in, while middle and upper-middle class Atlasians are somewhat more likely to drop their insurance plan.

Taxes on benefits with the absence of any mandates are likely to result in many employers dropping coverage. Some smaller insurance companies will also be forced to downsize or close due to new requirements to cover those with previous medical conditions and rules preventing them from providing certain basic services. This office projects a loss of $50 million to $250 million in economic activity in this area over ten years.

However, because businesses will no longer be burdened with providing health insurance coverage, projected wages over the next ten years are substantially higher, especially for those who make between $60,000 and $125,000 annually. In addition, the lightened load on businesses, especially smaller ones, will increase economic activity by approximately $700 million over five years.

While most people will proceed to purchase insurance through the exchange, most relying on the universal ANHCP, an estimated 10 million will refrain from buying new insurance. This nets approximately 15 million additional Atlasians with health coverage.

While the cost of the Act and projected number to join government run health care programs seem high, these numbers include the people and funding transferred from Medicare and Medicaid. It also includes those who previously had private insurance, but were transferred to coverage under the government program. Without those numbers, the cost is closer to $1.4 trillion and revenue equivalent to $1.45 trillion over ten years.

Ok, I still want to repeal it Tongue

Of course there would be a replacement.

Now that you put 'em all on the Wiki you thought you would make it useful for yourself, eh? I'll take a look and see what I can do.
