Proposed by National League For Freedom And Democracy · Voting closes 5 Jan 2025
Unfortunately, we were treated very poorly by Developer. In an instant, we lost a trillion dollars in GDP. This is a shock to all of us. We need to save our budget... We're very sorry, but it's not our fault...
This will increase tax take by $179.3bn annually.
This will decrease total budgeted spending by $55.0bn annually.
This will move the budget from an annual deficit of $223.2bn to an annual surplus of $11.1bn.
Checked against the same test used when a budget passes. Nothing here is decided until the vote closes.
This budget leaves the demand untouched. Short by $102 per person — $8.6bn a year more is needed.
Every line of the budget as it would stand if this passes. Rows that change show the budget currently in force the new value.

A budget passes once every legislature reaches its threshold, and fails immediately if a majority votes against. If neither happens, it resolves when voting closes.
Every vote must state a public reason. Most recent first.
