I support this bill

[Q]

I support this bill

As the author of this bill, I do as well.

[minionofmidas]

What exactly would this do?
Why does it have such a horrid title?
And what would be possible international consequences?

[Bono]

What exactly would this do?

It withdraws us from the World Trade Organization.

Beats me.

Wel, we'd be out of the WTO and free to impose tariffs on people with whom we did not have trade agreements. We'd also be free of WTo bureocrats.

[Jake]

I fully support this legislation.

[Bono]

I fully support this legislation.

As do I.

[MasterJedi]

I'll support this bill.

[Q]

Why does it have such a horrid title?

You mean truthful title.

And Bono did a good job of answering your other questions.

[True Democrat]

If all this does is pull us out of the WTO, I oppose this legislation.

What else would you like for it to do?

No, I'm assuming that's all it does.

[Ebowed]

We can call you Senator True "New World Order" Independent then.

As it is my power as GM to make such comments, there will obviously be international consequences. 

[minionofmidas]

Indeed, that was a question specifically to the GM... though of course, once question one was answered, question three was answered as well.

Q, do you even know what the Fair Deal was? Give a bill a title that says something about what it does.

No; I am unwise and completely unaware of history.

The original Fair Deal is not precisely described by its title either, though in both cases the title is appropriate.

No. In neither case it's appropriate. See the second part of my post.

With all due respect, I believe what the bill does is more important than what the bill is called.

The bill title will stand.  If you wish to vote against this legislation due to the name it has been given, that is your right.

Change the title to "Kill All Atlasians Bill", it would be nothing about the title but still.

[Ebowed]

I'm sorry, are we actually spending the Senate's time debating on the bill's title?

Unfortunately, it would appear so.

If there are any comments regarding the substance of this bill, please make them now.

[Filuwaúrdjan]

I would like to see some reasons to vote for or against this bill please

[A18]

I urge my senators to vote against this, primarily because of the title.

[Ebowed]

Oh for God's sake.

I motion to rename this the World Trade Organization Withdrawal Bill.
