California Congress

Day 402, 15:12 Published in USA USA by AidenAstrup

I'd like to thank you so much for electing me as your congressman for another term. I plan on sticking to my promises on how to vote, but want to especially make sure that your voice is heard in the eUSA government. Please, if you have any requests, complaints, comments, or questions, forward them my way and I will do my best to answer. My views on topics are as follows: Wellness: I believe that all citizens should have full support of the government and community when their wellness drops below 45. This however is still depressing. If each indiviual supports others by gifting - the community will thrive as production soars. As such, though my duty as congressman may not include creating programs, I would like to urge all California citizens to send me a message if you can become a gift partner. Whatever your circumstances are, I can find a place for you. I would also like to take this time to announce that I have been selected as USWP Congressional Whip, thank you so much for the opportunity Rocco! In case you didn't get a chance to see my platform - I have pasted it below.

Defense System:

During my term as your congressman, I was able to secure a Q3 Defense System for California. I believe that this is perfect for California, and once other regions in America get adequate defense systems, we can focus on upgrading.


Hospitals:

I believe that California is a large state and that citizens should NOT have to move to Florida to receive the benefits of a Q5 hospital that we could easily have here. I think California should begin saving for a Q5 starting now.


Taxes:

Taxes are a tricky subject and since joining this game, my views have changed many times. I believe this is a stance all members of Congress need to take. A stance of flexibility. The economy is constantly fluctuating, with prices and wages and inflation constantly on the move - and the eUnited States government must be just as quick to react and put out new proposals that will benefit the whole, not just the individual. The gift crisis that hit the entirety of America just a week ago was uncalled for and was due to the rise in diamond prices. Imports need to be dealt with.

War:

I believe that war is necessary to boost the economic value of eAmerica, I urge all of eAmerica to not become emotionally attached to winning however. If we are to have a war, we must understand that the most important benefit is boosting the dying sectors in our economy and reviving them. Winning is merely the cherry on top. If we become attached to winning, we will not know when to put an end to the fighting and we could possibly see things get very sour, very fast.


The War on France:

This is a tricky subject. There are many reasons to support the war and quite a few reasons to be against it. I do not fully support the war, because it is slightly hypocritical to split France up between ATLANTIS members which is why we are going against France. However, it is important that we defend our allies, not to mention the fact that wars do help the economy. I believe that within a few days it will be easier to decide whether this war was a good or bad decision as the clouding of the present situation will be gone.

Foreign Affairs:

eUSA needs to begin investing in the many resistances happening in Europe right now. A few large empires not only take away the very point of this New World, but pose a large threat the survival of America. We must publicly or at least privately fund these resistances and support the new countries that develop.

Minimum Wage:

I believe the current minimum wage is set at a perfect amount, but like taxes urge all congress members, to be ready to change the wage if and when economic changes occur.

MPP's:

America needs to be very careful selecting MPP's, watching which countries have MPP's with other countries and picking our allies closely. ATLANTIS and PEACE are amazing unions, but they are treading on thin water. The stability and control that comes with these unions can also bring about great conflict and chaos and we would it would be very unwise to merely click YES on any MPP that comes our way.

Transparency:

I believe that transparency is the key to any government that is of the people, by the people and for the people. At the end of every week, I will post how I voted on proposals during that week and why I voted that way. If you have any concerns about the eUSA that you want voiced to the rest of the government.



Deflation:

The price of USD is rising at a steady pace and that is very good for America, HOWEVER, it should begin to cap off or we risk sending the economy and market place into a panic.
