I. Delaware To Get New Hospital!
Revenue has been a hot topic in the 45th eUS Congress, albeit it discussed almost entirely privately. The previous tax increases of the 44th Congress had ensured a steady stream of cash for the government and donations to the Congressional Budget Office have hitting the target goal of 99,999 USD per day. However, Congress is also concerned with building the reserves, as much of it was consumed during the last invasion. In a similar vein, President Cerb sent this message to Congressmen:
Our CBO donations aren't quite keeping up with the treasury growth. Buying hospitals allows us to play 'catch up', since we can buy one every 24 hours for 99k from Colin, who can then donate the 99k into the CBO via the Money Market.

He has 4 more after this, and we can place one every 24 hours, so these proposals will help us move money into our reserves more quickly.
Congressmen [X] has confirmed this and state
We are buying a hospital from Colin for ~99k USD. He is donating 75k of that to the CBO.
His ~24k cut is more than reasonable given the cost of constructing a hospital, their rarity, etc.
So for those wondering, the purchase of the hospital in Delaware is much more about moving money than military strategy.
II. 45th Congress: Does It Lack Initiative?
In the last edition, the Congressional Reported that Speaker of the House Cromstar wanted Congressmen to review the eUS Constitution. The process, however, has been slow. Yesterday, Cromstar, after reviewing the discussion said, “Not a good start, people.” Some discussion has picked up on this debate, but does raise the question: Does the 45th Congress lack initiative?
Form the public perspective, the answer may be yes. The public can only view certain procedures and those have been few and unsubstantial so far. However, the private backrooms of Congress have been buzzing. Yet upon closer examination, discussion has been led by a handful of Congressmen. The Congressional Record will continue to monitor the progress of the 45th Congress.
III. Today’s Proposals
1. Buy Hospital.
IV. Congressional Budget Office Requests
1. Department of Defense requests 400,000 USD
V. Heero’s Hall
Come on in, have a seat
Well, tomorrow is election day and I’m endorsing Gnilraps for President.
I was going to make a graphic for him to use, but he already has some awesome graphics that would have just made mine look pitiful. But remember to vote Gnilraps for President of the eUS!

Who cares?
You obviously do to take the time to read and comment.
Thankyou for supporting new writers o/
Good article as usual Heero
I care about what our elected leaders are doing.
can you really endorse someone in a Congressional Announcement? It's just bad taste.
Does the Congress lack initiative?
My answer: Yeah, bro. Of the only visible thread, there has been little discussion by most of Congress. If this is how Congress handles business in public, having only a few people show initiative and debate, then I have to assume that's how they do it in private.
I see what people are saying. I've remained active in talks, maybe not as super-active as I would like, but I'm there. We have a great SoTH in Cromstar, and members of the Congress who are willing to give plenty of time. I'm confident that the people will see more action in the near future, and this Congressional Record is a great place to keep up with how we're doing as Congresspeople. If you have some suggestions for a new policy, or feelings on any issues, don't ever hesitate to message me. I'm always waiting to hear from voters, so please give me some words to read.
Portcolumbus,

PtH official Turd In The Punch Bowl.
The part that gets me is that we keep electing the same hand full of people into congress and then are surprised when they do nothing or when little else gets done besides the usual ePeen contest. While this is a game, I think the people who continually get elected either need to do quite a lot to prove they are actually doing what is asked of them or they need to tell their parties to find someone else who can and WILL do what needs doing (IE. Donating Money instead of giving someone a cut to basically launder it for us).
Then again in the eUS we allow a hand full of people and their legions of multis to control who gets elected and who doesn't, who is allowed to run and who is not, who gets into the country and how they can bypass the system if they are a friend of the people who keep getting in or the people who own them.

Quote of the day.
Relorian, no disrespect meant, to put your statements into perspective,
have you ever run for any public office in eRep, specifically in the eUSA? and if so,
did you feel the results were manipulated in some way? and if so,
how?
Is your comment with regards to "laundering" money in reference to the way in which the gov't is obtaining hospitals, owned by an eUSA citizen, an illustrious one at that and currently ranked #1 in the country?
