[Derp4PotUS] Tear Down the Old
Derphoof
We need change.
When CG decided to run for president, I sat back and said nothing until the last minute. I thought CG would be a real agent for change against the establishment of this country. I thought he might bring in reform that was desperately needed. Maybe, I thought, he might change the ways that the establishment played the game. After all, that’s his schtick.
However, his articles didn’t inspire me, and they lacked detail and policy. I threw my name in, because I was unsure about what I saw. This wasn’t the change we needed, but more of the same with a different face.
Now, again, things must change.
We must change the way we play this game, domestically.
So, I’m here to break down our establishment practices, and build anew. Here’s how:
Firstly, our government brings in approximately $12 Million in tax revenue to the CBO every month, if we donate every day. Congress’ spending for November was $5.4M
Congress is spending approximately 45% of our money. Meanwhile, the rest is hoarded in the CBO. This was a good strategy several years ago, when we needed to hoard money to pay CO’s. Now, it collects dust, as CO’s have been abandoned as a largely ineffective mechanic for the battlefield.
This is why I believe that the government should commit to spending at least 75% of the country’s revenue on programs for its citizens. The majority of taxes should be reinvested in the community. If there is increased activity, then we shouldn’t be afraid to dip into our massive reserves. Our reserves need repurposing. Now, how will we invest that money?
- Increase CRAP by 33% to restore itself back to its earlier funding of $1M
- Raise the cap on GIMP payments to 65k, and increase the amount per hit to 8cc for air corps and 4cc for the elite. By doing both, we can help both big and small air fighters. Air fighters are our most valuable battlefield asset.
- Raise the budget of GIMP in Congress to $2.5M/wk to cover increased payouts and future weeks of heavy use. That will help to get money to citizens faster.
- Double the Fly-By-Prio budget, to better incentivize our Air Fighters. This also directly supports critical battles both for our own nation and our Asterian allies.
Yet, while that helps reinvest money into our community, we need to have more faith in our institutions. We must have better public oversight of our nation’s money.
In order to do this, I would like for CBO to set up a few different spreadsheets. Now, I’m aware that DMJ’s sheets meticulously track every dollar our country spends. However, some people lack trust in the CBO and how money is spent. This is why greater transparency is needed in the CBO. I’m proposing some ways to help citizens track our money.
For the public, I would like a spreadsheet where the CBO numbers and expenditures are listed plainly for all to see. It would list where money was spent, when, and how much is in the CBO Reserve. This would update every month, when the budget is updated, and Congress can choose to redact specific security expenditures. These numbers can be found on the forum in different areas, but could be neatly compiled in one place for the public to see.
For Congress, I would like a live spreadsheet where the CBO numbers and expenditures are listed in real time. If CBO gives money to a program, it's right there. With the updated numbers, Congress can be sure that the people’s money is being tracked, kept, and spent properly.
The President is the one who sets the agenda, and can wield the power of executive programs. They have the power of the bully pulpit to change how things are done in America. Yet, for all of the bluster that has come from the Administration and their talk of fighting the establishment, they have done little to nothing to change the status quo..
The administration provided a trinket Christmas rebate, instead of structural improvement.
They’ve provided trivial conquest in Israel as a “grand success.”
And they’ve done nothing to “tear down” the “walls they have built to divide us,” as CG intended in his first announcement article.
How long will we shift people and parties in power without discernible change? How long will people exploit our divisions, instead of finding solutions.
Let’s tear down the walls that divide us.
Let’s tear down the established ways.
Let’s build up something better.

Come together. Build something better.
And what would you do with the 25% that won't be spent on programs??
Horde them??
You are a pig-disgusting double-faced elitist.
You swine have 9 CP medals and 2 dictator-trainee medals (Defensive Dictatorship wink wink)
And you still don't have enough!!!!
WHY?
Answer peasant (I call you peasant because you don't know even the basic game dynamics, peasant)
You sir are an I D I O T !
The government would outlive me. I’m open to dipping into the reserves to fund Gov’t programs, but other presidents may not be. I’d happily spend more than 100% of the budget on programs, if I can figure out good ways to help people. I can’t force future presidents to spend all of our revenue, so I hope that 75% would be a good target.
Without events, I assume GIMP won’t sustain its sky high expenditures. So there’s probably room to grow CRAP and GIMP benefits to meet targets, while Cabinet/Congress/Citizens may have good ideas for new programs.
VOTE FOR CHANGE!
Gaia Data for President!

The Team of the Century!
🗳
BTW: Not only you don't know game dynamics, you have no clue about basic game mechanics. Why? Because you are just a power-hungry wanna-be leader who wants his 10th CP medal?? Whay? To make a new record?? You already HOLD THE RECORD, peasant!!!
Thank you for your vote of confidence, but I do not hold the record. This term would not give me a record either. I appreciate and thank you for your input.
Now, idiot, why do you want another CP medal?
Asking for a friend.
Maybe because this idiot has 9, but more dictator-medals then you???
P.S. Your program sucks, you don't even have a cabinet yet.
Basically, your campaign is nothing but .....

Nice ideas... on paper..
Unfortunately, We need a CP that log more than once a week.. and notice new Air weapons 3 weeks after they were introduced.. You know.. Someone who ''play'' the game..
Nothing in what you propose here will help bring both side of the country together... The divide was implanted by Forum Rulers, feds.. They need the divide if they hope to regain power someday.. They feed on it.. they promote it.
We need a CP that is actually committed to fixing the internal problems that our country has. We need a CP that’s focused on creating a better country, instead of maintaining elite power and status.
The divide is being exacerbated by those who thrive on the divide across all parties, to promote themselves and maintain power for themselves. This cannot be maintained, and the current administration has done nothing to bridge it.
Well, We have a 20 peoples cabinet from every top 6 parties ... Ranging from long time players to new ones .. That a lot more done than any Feds administration who actively made sure to avoid having people from the last party in the country.. WTP in their cabinets..
from the Largest ** party
Why should I care what the Feds are doing? I’m not a Fed. It’s no secret that Feds and WTP have had a rocky relationship. I assume ambitions and a lack of amicable personal relations contributed to that. Both parties have contributed to that divide, and excluded or attacked each other for perceived political gain, to the country’s detriment.
Cabinet offerings aren’t some great panacea. Real work has to be done across party lines to build trust, communication, and policies.
You should care about Feds because they are your only options if you want to have any chances to win a CP election for starter..
I’m sure I can win the Fed endorsement on a revolutionary platform of spending, reform, and reconciliation. It’s time to tear down the walls and build bridges. I believe they recognize and welcome that. Down with the established ways. Whether you believe that’s good might be a different question.
Anyway.. all these '' improuvent and spending'' you are proposing.. You dont need to be CP to do it.. Any congressman can propose budget modification.. You've been in congress for a long time and never thought about doing it.. so why now?
Oh, I’ve thought about it several times. Sorta like how I thought about the original dividend. Most programs are given broad budgets and authority by Congress to the exec. For example, while CRAP just needs a larger budget line, GIMP is controlled by the Exec. The exec decides how much money you earn per hit, and it regulates the cap on GIMP earnings. I believe Congress is right to let the exec regulate its own programs, within its allotted budget. Congress doesn’t need to micromanage programs administrated by the exec.
The best way to boost GIMP spending, fly-by-prio, and other programs is by being the president. Just as well, it’s easier to get new programs off the ground by being president. I’m all for Congress authorizing greater budgets, if the exec asks for it. Congress forcing a new program on the current exec doesn’t work as well.
"who actively made sure to avoid having people from the last party in the country.. WTP in their cabinets.."
biggest load of shit I have ever read
You should know Wilker, you'ra a bu$hit artist!
And what prevents us to "fuck off" this forum and with this to deprive them of their trump cards?
Burn that private pig-forum to the ground!!!!!
nothing, it is not like Plato will ban you from this game for not going to that "game"

Full Support!
Fools support!
FTFY
Yes!

Good luck to you sir. QAnon already pledged its support to another candidate though.
How's your neck btw?
I do like the ideas for transparency. Best of luck
Merry Merry Christmas Ho Ho Ho 🎅

Some solid sh** here.
I like that.
You are right times have changed, time to change the tune.
Get the money back into the hands of the people.
CG is just playing populist to his gullible bought and paid for, crowd.
Throwing crumbs to the people while pulling the hood over their eyes.
Yeah.. time have changed.. Shitty account like yours and Derp are useless for our country.. Get money, buy and decent account and then we'll talk..
Imagine spending real life money on a browser game.
