· Passed 16 Jul 2021
Our country had an annual deficit of $35.3 billion, which must be eliminated immediately. Unfortunately, we have had to temporarily cut spending even in important areas such as education and healthcare. Our country cannot sustain such a high level of debt for long, because it could cause major problems down the road. As soon as the country’s debt is stabilized, we will restore these programs. Please accept this proposal so that we do not completely indebt our country. Sincerely, Rupert Richardson, Minister of Finance
