Do you like free money?

Instead of getting fresh bread every day, the Department of Citizen Affairs has a new program:

CRAP - Currency Rebate for Americans Program

This program will deliver fresh currency to you, the American Citizen, everyday!
The amount will vary based on the budget, but as of December, $500,000 is allocated PER WEEK.
You can see the budget on the congressional forums: https://eusaforums.com/forum/index.php?topic=47708.0

Just follow these ~~three~~two easy steps:

1) Be a eUSA Citizen
2) Comment on the daily CRAP shout in the national feed.

It's just that easy.

CRAP right!

hekhekhekhek Day 4,408, 17:04

What's the point of this? Where does the money come from?

Herr Vootsman Day 4,408, 17:16

It's from the tax collected

PigInZen Day 4,408, 17:24

The point is that we have too much USD in the treasury going to waste. This is an effort to redistribute it to active players who will hopefully spend it on weapons & food or other such thingies that prop our economy.

BTW, before people complain about taxes, they're already as low as they can go.

Trite of the northern Penguins Day 4,408, 17:56

raise them, dammit! I want more CRAP!

hekhekhekhek Day 4,408, 18:50

I was just surprised that taxes collected are too much even at 1%

TheNorm Day 4,409, 04:39

'hope' for a inactive community with no leadership, hope doesnt work PiZ ..

Trite of the northern Penguins Day 4,409, 04:46

@TheNorm, who is responsible for losing the audience? I have been an active voice for involvement for years only to be marginalized by game mechanics.

George Barker Day 4,408, 17:25

Buy weapons. Distribute them instead.

Herr Vootsman Day 4,408, 17:44

Some people need weapons - they can buy with money
Some people need food to fight - they can buy with money
Some people need more farms to work as manager in - they can buy with money

Groot of Cascadia Day 4,408, 17:56

This program was supposed to help citizens to feed and arm themselves. However, we have gone from $7000 per day per citizen to $700? Right now Q7 weapons are $146 and Q2 food is $0.85. So...with $700 a day I may purchase 4 tanks for $596 and 123 pieces of bread for $104.55.

Personally I can blow through 30 tanks per day and that is simply fighting per BC's daily orders once...maybe twice. In order to fight my full 1660 energy takes 415 Q2 bread.

Just saying...

Herr Vootsman Day 4,410, 04:49

You are in congress, you can vote to increase budget!

Franklin Stone Day 4,410, 12:16

Well...I haven't been to Congress for 2 months but maybe this month, hey. Actually the amount being spent on bread is almost equal to what AARP gave out which was 500 Q2 (mostly), however, if you want a well-armed citizenry ya gotta pay for it. Any amount to new citizens is helpful. Last...I think $7000 was too high. The sliding scale by Division was much better.

Herr Vootsman Day 4,410, 16:29

Also, it was 7000 a week, (as compared to 700 for the day).
The number will vary by requests.

Franklin Stone Day 4,411, 02:14

Are you sure? I thought the program claimed by and run by Chicken was giving $7000 a day. Anyway...at $7000 a week that is $1000 a day. The way the program is set up now the more citizens who apply the less each citizen gets.
