Well you say we line up our pockets in domestic and foreign policy, but then you speak about invading a country and the massive economic benefits it will bring over the course of a few years. It sums up your party as well, always paradoxical and contradictory.
 
I was actually refering to the economic benefits our social reforms will bring which isn't paradoxical at all; a healthy, educated, unmaimed and content workforce will be more productive and that will bring vast economic benefits.
 
I propose an Amendment to the Transition to Peace Act, striking Article II.

It is not the duty of the government to build the people's houses for them. We are supposed to help them from cradle to grave, not provide the cradle, grave and everything in between.

The bills are coming to a vote, but the amendment is still on the table. If its failure/success affects your decision, say so clearly and concisely on your vote post.

I will oppose the Monetary Stability Act. We cannot bring stability to the system by suspending it, and killing currency exchange in New York will destroy the French and British war efforts, which are running off of American loans and monetary juggling.

Also, I have removed the Secretary of the Treasury from his position as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, and given the Board a rotating Chairmanship.

The following bills go to a vote:
