We can project that RowanBrandon will be elected to the Senate.

That makes this the current make up of the Senate:


Yellow - RPP
Light Blue - DA
Green - JCP

New GM Very Active, Yet Senators Take Little Notice
By Vepres

When GM Purple State was sworn in, people from all sides of the political spectrum celebrated. For the first time in a long time, Atlasia would have an active GM. Yet, while Purple State has performed admirably thus far, few in the government seem to take any action on the news.

Take, for example, his recent report on the healthcare bill. Not one Senator commented on it despite the fact that it was one of the most important bills signed into law in the past few Senates.

Purple State said this in the news unit:

You must be logged in to read this quote.

Of course, it is election season, and so the focus is on the elections, but let's not lose sight of the fact that the government must respond to the GM news or else the position is useless.

Excuse me, and just what the hell do you call this post from the other day, whistling Dixie?

Obviously if any deputy GM would be needed, it's in the economic sector.

How do the healthcare numbers look?

Well I being a cynical conservative doubt that it would run a surplus, at least initially. Other then that they seem at least somewhat reasonable. It would have a positive effect on wages and employement, and even GDP cause small Businesses will expand as you say so thats correct. It would also lead to the dropping of private Health Care plans and the bankruptcy of many small insurers as you say it does. I would say Good job.

And you wanted to do it for Foriegn policy? Told you . Needs a separate position. Unfortunately most of the "experts" either aren't registered in Atlasia like Beet, Ford, Carl Hayden or have other positions already, Sam Spade. And if you are thinking about me the answer is No way in hell.

Granted it was more about PS's analysis then the Healthcare plan itself but I did comment on the "effects" of the bill as a way of showing where PS had a good analysis, so I was commenting about it indirectly. Am I not considered a Senator?

That comment you posted from PS was in response to a request for economic data from me? What he has given so far while important is too broad and too disconected from underlying factors to tell us where to go? I asked for Libor-OIS spread to see if Credit markets where tightening, and maybe the need for a direct loans to consumers and Businesses as a response, PS refused sighting he didn;t now what it is.

I then today asked for data on Consumer and Factory orders and he refuses, saying we aren't responding. I am responding god damnit, I can't introduce legislation without more specific details about the real prime economic movers like Factory orders, Consumer data, Housing and Exports. The stock market and even Unemployement is basically meaningless in addressing matters of policy. Clearly Purple State has a very limited knowledge of economics and if he is unwilling or unable to expand his knowledge on the subject I am afraid he will end up like the last two GM's, a mistake of an appointment. I wish we could have have two GM's let PS handle foriegn sh**t and give the other one to Sam Spade or somone who know economics handle the economy.

I was referring to it from a policy stand point. I'll add that you commented on the article.

[Vepres]

Well, two things.

One, it's an election, and usually very little is done legislatively because people are hesitant or simply unwilling to move on important legislation when there's no idea how the make-up of the Senate will end up being, so it's unfair to criticize the Senate now over activity.

Secondly, I would happily take more notice of the goings-on around here if my last few days hadn't been a stressful disaster. I promise to take more notice when I'm not dealing with house burnings.

I wasn't critiquing anybody specific, and I did note that it was election season.

Your real life crisis absolutely means that you have a good reason to not comment. I am just trying to making sure that Purple State's effort isn't wasted.

@ NCYankee: I added that you commented on the health care article in the my article.

I have a subconscious bias towards Purple State, isn't that obvious
He is to me as Obama is to Chris Matthews, if you will

He does have his flaws though, and I will make sure to bring them up in future articles. The point of the article was to remind Senators that they have a part in making the GM position useful.

Its like a fruit seller has apples and oranges. I come by to pick up my orange and he bites my head off cause I don't buy the apple two, and no one else has bought it yet. I right now don't need an apple and just want the orange and get very pissed and threatened to tell his boss and have him fired.

I need more specific info before I can craft my legislation. I was planning on introducing a program to offer a few billion in Gov't loans, but I wanted to see the Libor-OIS spread to see if it was worth the expense.

PS tells me he doesn't know what the Libor-OIS spread is.

The Fruit seller tells me he doesn't know what an avacodo is when I ask for one

I then ask for Consumer data, Factory orders, and Housing numbers.

I asked the fruit Seller for the orange.

He then attacks me and the whole SEnate for not responding to his crusade against Chavez

The fruit Seller then gets pissed cause I don't just buy the apple he just put on the Shelf.

I then threatened to have him Impeached

I threatened the Fruit guy with telling his boss and getting him fired.

Probably 5, in fact. Nothing surprising of course, the Big Khaki Machine has turned out massively and their preference flows are tightly controlled by the machine.

However, the recent records show that a magnificent STV election for one party is followed by a rout/mini-disaster/bad showing in the next STV election...
