Mr. Senator-elect...

I was away all weekend on a trip and needed today to recover.

During the confirmation hearing, it was suggested that at this point in time we set 1 Atlasian Dollar = to 1 American Dollar and the value of the Atlasian Dollar will fluctuate based on actions of the federal government. Unless anyone has any other suggestions, I intend to go with this.

Does this mean that a decision has been reached on the relative existances of Atlasia and the USA?

[Brandon H]

No. It only relates to Atlasian currency vs. real world American currency.

No. It only relates to Atlasian currency vs. real world American currency.

Thanks for the clarification.

Best of luck in the role btw.

It should also fluctuate based on other economic factors beyond the Gov'ts control but which the Gov't can respond too with policy changes.

The reason behind my suggestion of this was to give him a starting point. I just thought it the most simplistic way of going about is so I offered this idea.

Iranian Election results upheld
The results of the recent election held in Iran have been upheld. A partial recount show the results are valid and that there was no fraud in the election. Incumbent Mahmoud Ahmadinejad defeated challengers Mir-Hossein Mousavi, Mohsen Rezaee, and Mehdi Karroubi. In a statement to the Fars news agency, Ayatollah Morteza Moghtadai said that "the view of the leadership is the last word, and everybody in the country must obey it," and that further protests would not be tolerated.

That Atlasian Senate recently passed a resolution supporting the Iranian Protesters. Ayatollah Moghtadai said that Atlasia must mind their own business.

I believe this would be a good next step for the Senate to take.

Nice step. If we weren't so tied to China economically I would suggest doing the same to them. Since they heavily block interenet and other communications. What about support for pro-American groups in Iran, such as funding and aid.

I don't wish to necessarily insert Atlasian interests into Iran or force our ideals upon them. However, their people have shown that the need for freedom of speech is universal and so they deserve a good faith effort by us to help achieve this.

Good, though you have yet to update us on the state of the economy.

Throw in a random crisis every now and then, post things that could create controversy. Don't be afraid to be creative.

Hold your horses. I would rather he takes his time and be as detailed as possible. He has to figure oh where the stock market is, where the unemployement rate is, and what the inflation rate is. It would also be helpful if he were report where interest rates are as well.

[Vepres]

I recommend you keep the markets relatively similar to the US's until congress passes an economic bill of some kind.

Are you going to do budgets as well?

[Southern Senator North Carolina Yankee]

Are you going to tell us what the Unemployement, and inflation rates are at, or is that the same as RL, 9.6%.

[Purple State]

Unemployment was pegged at 9.5% in Brandon's post. Once the PPT is elected we should work on a stimulus package.

Eliminate all taxes for 6 months .

He said a stimulus package, not a government collapsing package.

So I did. Peculiar that he would say the opposite of what I did.

It was a joke. Though I am pretty sure there are several members of the RPP that would love to see that results, no, DYING to see that result. You will be surprised with what I support.

There you go again Senator.

[Purple State]

I do not close the door to lowering some taxes, but I will insist on stimulus spending as well. Not to worry, there will not be silly, non-stimulative spending wrapped up in there.

And I absolutely expect you to be more conservative than you put out there. You are a Southerner after all.
