National Emergency Announced by Congress
The U.S. Federal Reserve has been hacked and all funds have been drained; this coming just hours after President McWalburgson's leave of absence due to real-life technicalities. A Legislative Order was released to all acting congressmen by representatives of their parties and was endorsed by ten congressmen, spanning from five different political parties.

Their actions have proven that in a time of need, the eUSA can rise and become united and put aside petty differences. In the list of endorsers were die-hard fighters for lowering taxes and well as outspoken protectionists. Libertarians, authoritarians, USWP and NP all agree
😛Action needed to be taken; and quickly.
Congress's Quick Actions
With our reserves low, we are in a tight pickle. In seven or so days, the war module will be released. With very little GOLD and USD in our possession, what will the eUSA do to protect herself? We cannot rely on our allies, as Resistance Wars will be popping up everywhere for Sweden, Spain, and Romania (or primary allies). The UK may be able to aid at our defense, as could Canada, but against the blunt of a vengeful PEACE GC? There is not a doubt in anyone's mind that an attack on eUS soil is a real and threatening possibility at our current weak state.
These actions were noble, though may cause some uneasy feelings towards their pledges of tax policies. Many ran for just a few days earlier with plans to lower or shift taxes, and have gone against their initial pledges. All in the name of economic security. Hopefully the voters can forgive them.
Don't Worry, eUSA!
In this Order, it is clearly outlined that when the admins rightfully return our GOLD or when we reach a certain treasury amount, the taxes will be brought back to their original states. This should be a temporary set back, and one which Congress and all of the law making authorities hope that the eCitizens will understand.

No presidential activities... not good. This goes further towards my comments on the #congress channel earlier. You all should consider what I brought up there seriously. If your not sure what I meant and are a congressman let me know.
I wish it was possible to give emergency powers to one person like our Pres.

Amazing job Jewitt! Voted.
Huzzah!
Will they give back the money though, and when is this proposal happen?
The proposal will happen as soon as the Administration page allows it (a new congressman posted a bogus proposal and we have to wait for it to clear up). As to the money being "paid back," do you mean the stolen money or the additional taxes?
It is up to the admin to reinstate us with our funds back. However, if not, we must tax the civil population else be open to attack. Any taxed money will, likely, not be returned and be a lesson to all to never trust an old organization.
Voted!
I mean the stolen money which really was just moved into the general population.
The admins have been contacted and are investigating the occurrence and will rule if they can intervene or not, as per their new rules.
For the record, supported.
This is a great example of why spending to develop internal controls is less costly than waiting to react to after-the-fact.

We can has cheezburger?
Hurling: What internal controls? Aside from myself, an IRC client, and other congressmen being online at the fact, it was completely conceived within 2 hours of hard work, yelling, fist throwing, and an occasional insult that had one congressman (NoneSuch) crying.
I believe that once we set up shop in our new National eUS Forums, we organize a Fail-Safe system with scenarios and generic "starting points" to enforce in the event that the President is out of contact. We cannot blame the President because, like ourselves, he (or she) has a real life and that must always come before the game and may have to in some circumstances; as seen here with Justin's being away.

Anyone who is even remotely surprised about this seriously needs to work on their foresight.

Voted, we can pull through this.
If congress (or anyone) needs my help please don't hesitate to PM me.
bye bye
good luck 🙂
WTF? I really have to say that Iam amazed that our leadership has left such a loop hole out there to be exploited. I beleive we can more then likaly count that money as gone and not coming back. The real problem here as Iam seeing the admin will be seeing it is that we are going outside of the system in the first place and designing our own way of handling federal founds and then not safe guarding them from such an attack. No one person should have that much power in our nation and this clearly represents that we need a change of the Guard. Sorry to be coming out with this stance but our Government has failed its people and now we are counting on you to get this right.
There are clearly some problems with the system that we can not blame entirely on the admin. Iam not saying that I beleive we should not have a federal reserve but, with our current inability to do anything about it when things like this happen I beleive it would be prudent to just get back to the basics and rebiuld this country from the ground up.
We as a nation are far to embeded with just a few people at the top. Democracy doesnt work that way gentlemen. You have obviously put to much power into the hands of to few.

Why are only these industries being taxed heavily?
Food - 20% - 15% - 15%
Gifts - 20% - 15% - 15%
Wood - 20% - NA - 15%
Grain - 20% - NA - 15%
No explanation has been given. Why are we not raising import taxes on iron and diamonds to raise funds? This seems an undue burden on the common worker as we all know that companies get around the income tax but us common workers can not.
great article man, voted.

you can ask the president to give out his password to someone else he trusts.
It's ok, the french did it and the admins said it was fine ...
Franco tells me he gave the money back by way of those eUSA citizens that he likes and/or respects. Have any stepped forward to say they received any substantial value from Franco ?
You guys failed yourself, so you will not get your money back 😉

The U.S. has lots of wealth withing organizations that should an attack on our own soil happen would be more then willing to distribute to the citizens of the U.S. We are one of many that would divulge even our entire savings in the event that the U.S. was attacked on its own soil. Even with eUSA without savings they must remember their are many of corporations willing to help the U.S. out.
