Congressional Update

by Cromstar
As promised, an update on my doings in Congress.
For starters, the PANEC plan has been continued to be put in place. Though I approved of the Oil tax, I have voted no to the rest so far (House, Moving Tickets, Weapons) and will continue to do so for all the 'consumable' goods.
Additionally, a string of proposals on transferring foreign currency to Fort Knox for Sam and/or his successor to switch to gold are being brought up (starting today with Greek money). I will be voting yes, as I consider this to be common sense. We got money, let's put it into a usable form. I will also be sponsoring the proposal for IED (Irish money!).
Finally, we are currently in discussions on some MPPs. Update when I know more.
Also, congratulations to everyone who fought in the war against Mexico. I know there's a lot of things out there, and I want to assure everyone that this is NOT a random war for imperial gain. I voted for the war because it was obvious that Mexico, which had been taken over by foreigners, and was prepping to sign MPPs with PEACE nations, was unstable. We could not afford to have PEACE allowing their supposed 'allies' to be overrun by goons and then signing treaties with them simply to threaten America. We acted because our friends in Mexico were ousted, and since Mexico's 'friends' didn't step in, we did. Plus, we surpassed Indonesia to rank as the number two nation in the New World as a result of the war in Mexico!
Huzzah!

We are still in third place in ever other category, and Indonesia has about 60% of the population we have.
I am all for war...I am against taxpayers paying for anything other than true defensive wars.
it is imperialism as far as I am concerned. We did nothing to help Mexico, we only took their territories from them. The poles left, last I heard on their own. Yet somehow we still keep all the territories. There is no returning of them. So no, we did nothing to help our fellow Mexicans. We took them over pure and simple, hence imperialism.
That is unless I have completely misread our President's and other prominent member's papers and comments on the matter. Because this seems to be the route they have chosen. Quit flowering it up and state it like it is.
Im with you daisy
There were less than five actual Mexicans in the Mexican Congress. We didn't hurt any Mexicans. I'm not flowering anything up. We aren't rubbing out Mexico, we are attempting to find some Mexicans to run the country.
My question to you though is this, how is taking three territories and not giving them back helping them? In all the later press releases and comments there is nothing on how this is actually benefiting Mexico. The only thing I have heard is that we now have a buffer, and that we have excellent ground for RW training. These are benefits for the US. We have done nothing in our seizing of Mexican Territories to actually help the Mexican population.
@Daisy -> How is it actually hurting them?
Oh, it isn't? Ok.
Ok, but the president should not even pretend we are helping them either, This is an imperialistic agenda regardless of what good ol sam and his congressional cronies have to say. This war was poorly planned in the aspect that uncle sam is still not for sure what we will do now that we have the terriortories, very poor leadership skills are being observed, thats bad for public morale and bad for PR. This gave peace something to throw in our face. I will vote for whatever congressmen or woman that support giving back the terrirotories to the mexican peoples and giving them funding to rebuild their government and industry so that we have a strong ally to the south. I have said it before, the war itself was well ran, people gained alot of points and experience and we conqured quickly, but for the wrong reasons and motives. We will eventually have an administration that cares what the people of this nation has to say, not what will fill their pocketbooks and the government cofffers.
I was involved in the decision to go to war. It was not a rash decision, it was simply kept on the DL so that PEACE could not learn of our plans before hand.
It was very well orchestrated. That is not my complaint. As Justin Moore stated though I feel cheated by my government. We did not go in with the intentions being to help the mexican government as was stated in all the press releases.
As far as hurting; how would it feel to have Indonesia or Iran come through and wipe out our West Coast? As little as it was Mexico just lost a bit of tax base. It is also a huge ego blow, as low as they were, no longer have complete sovereignty over their territory. They also lost regions to supply resources for their country.
This part is to DesertEagle should he ever read this. Part of his platform is to eventually create a new alliance in the Americas more locally driven for all of our benefit (not sure but that is about what it sounded like). If I recall watching two of the three most recent MPP of Mexico were with South American Countries. Do you honostly propose to win them over to a new alliance and world order at the point of the spear? Especially with your stance of holding onto the three Mexican Provinces at all costs.
