Budget Restoration Act

Proposed by Alliance For Digital Freedom And Rights · Passed 6 Apr 2023

✅ Passed

Rationale

This proposal aims at restoring the previous budget with minimal modifications, so as to ensure a decent welfare, environmental protections, funds for arts and culture (seeing how TV and cinema is one of our main industries), support for small businesses and cut to wasteful expenses (defence above all). It also re-aligns tax brackets with international standards and to a sensible degree. The expected surplus will allow us to cut our debt faster in order to further lower taxes in the near future. This cabinet wants a Saxenheim where citizens, workers and entrepreneurs alike, enjoy way better-than-average services in a financially healthy, growing country.

Figures show the previous budget where they changed the new value.
