People's Regional Senate
Passed 4-0-0-2 in the Atlasian Senate Assembled

The adjustments we need to make at minimum include winding down of stimulus funds and incorporating new spending.

I think it's best to update this once the authorizations bill is passed, which includes some emergency spending (namely the Paflagonia aid and the Transportation funds to alleviate our supply problem).

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

And now without further delay, the new budget. All authorization bills have been accounted for and the one-time COVID spending has been removed and subtracted from the year's expenditures (not from the overall deficit). I do not know how to calculate the interest and may need help on that, but I used all the information I had.

Anyway, I would encourage all senators to look at the bill closely, but this is probably going to pass along party lines regardless, so do what you will and all.

People's Regional Senate

[WD]

I will be opening a final vote in 24 hours, baring objection.

[West_Midlander]

I object.

[West_Midlander]

I object.

Withdrawn.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Honestly, I'd rather we let Cao and especially Yankee give this bill a final look before we vote. We have been discussing the best way to go about this on Discord (hate us for it if you must, but it is convenient...). I've been acting like more of a partisan jackass than usual, that I will admit. (And WM and I have, for the record, been working things out in private.) But I want the people who are more knowledgeable on budgetary issues, and all its crevices, to take a look at what I've submitted before the whole Senate votes.

To clarify: I did not present this budget to anyone before submitting it in this thread.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

-

On that note, I would like to ask Senator Yankee a question for clarification. Senator WM expressed to me that passing the authorization bill separately from the budget was akin to "passing the budget twice". I know that was not quite your intention in the budget reform law you wrote, so how did you envision the process to go, exactly? Were the authorizations supposed to be passed concurrently with the budget in the same vote?

Ultimately, that is what troubles me about the partisanship of that vote. There was no communication, and you didn't answer my question in the Discord chat, so I pretty much went the rest of it alone because I just wanted the budget done and April's blueprint ready. If the authorization bill failed, I would've had no choice but to reintroduce it.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I'm going to respectfully ask the Senate to hold off on a final vote until Yankee can answer my question and also have a look at this.

[WD]

Withdrawing my motion for a final vote, pending a response from Senator Yankee.

[Joseph Cao]

I'm going to have a full amendment later on when I have my calculator with me, but some of the spending figures don't match their breakdowns.

If the authorization bill failed, I would've had no choice but to reintroduce it.

The authorizations are the line items scattered throughout the various bills we pass. There was never any consideration of doing an omnibus authorization bill like WD and you have in mind. There is nothing to prevent an administration from doing it, especially if they want to advance an agenda, but I didn't desire to add another layer as a regular process when we have still yet to get this right with just one layer.

The only reason that I referenced "Authorizations" at all, was to end the practice of each individual bill appropriating money, thus necessitating the President to be compiler in chief. By deeming them "authorizations", it means that the President is not obligated to collect them all, rather it is the job of Senators to fight for appropriations to carry out these authorized programs.


To put it graphical form:
1. Dozens of bills passed throughout year containing spending = Authorizations = must be specific dollar amounts
2. Budget = Appropriations = Proposed by the administration in the Spring for the Fiscal year starting the following October.
3. Senate Debates the budget and passed it by the beginning of the fiscal year that it is far with two months of lead time (That August 1st cutoff) for practicality reasons.

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Also to comment on the partisanship of the authorization vote, it would be unreasonable to expect people who voted against bills such as New Great Society, to vote to "authorize" large expenditures for them because that is essentially the same as repassing the same line items even if altered somewhat. Both the line items in the original bill and those in the Authorizations bill, are considered "authorizations" under the law.

It would very much be reasonable to expect that any such "omnibus" authorizations adjustment done to reflect administration priorities would necessarily end up becoming partisan or at least controversial.

As for you leaving you alone, I am deeply sorry about that, but between work and school over the past two weeks particularly, with the added layer of handling the usual red tape that comes with transferring and such, tax season and a number of such things, I had to put real life first. At work we had to train nearly 15 people in less than two weeks or so, to replace the massive wipe out of our crew just after the holidays. I apologize for not being able to clarify these points sooner and help with the final lift.

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

I appreciate you clearing things up, Yankee. Real life always comes first. And I'm relieved to know we don't have to pass separate authorization bills again; I completely misunderstood you when you referred to authorization bills.

And thanks to Cao for being another set of eyes. I did try to recalculate some things; for instance, we are no longer funding COVID stimulus programs because the economy, presumably, is doing much better now than it was a year or two ago. I removed the COVID spending that was in the last budget, and tried to reflect that in the new budget by simply not adding those temporary spending measures again.

It's very likely I missed something given I'm bad at math

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

It's very likely I missed something given I'm bad at math

The nice thing about my online statistics course is, most everything is worked out in excel.

=Sum(A1:A20) is so amazing.

Not an option on the tests unfortunately.

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

It's very likely I missed something given I'm bad at math

You entirely missed the updated revenues I calculated, and copied the old ones instead, but I suppose it's a case of distraction more than being bad at Maths.

Thanks, I did forget that. I added it to the budget but I'm also noticing bills that probably shouldn't be in the FY20222 budget (like eliminating the penny). I'm going to have to reassess some of these and recalculate.

The eliminated penny, or the CCRA?

[The world will shine with light in our nightmare]

Whew. Okay. So I updated the final expenditures, removed redundant legislation for the last budget, and calculated our new debt, without accounting for interest numbers.

Once again I'm going to invite Cao and Yankee to take another look, and then request a vote if Yankee signals we're ready. I'm tired, cranky, and I want the damn thing passed.
