Budget Time: Accountants Excited
The Issue
It's time for the government to allocate spending for the coming year, and as always, special interest groups are keen to have their say.
The Debate
1."The state of the education system is, in many areas, simply frightful," says Teachers Union leader Zeke Trax. "And even where we are doing well, we could do better. I appeal to the authorities for a substantial boost in funding. Remember, the children are our future."
2."We won't have a future unless we improve police numbers and rebuild the military," says General Bianca Johnson. "Oh, it's all well and good to have your fancy education and your nice cars, until some tinpot dictatorship decides to invade. And don't pretend like there aren't any of them in our region. Our number one priority has to be security."
3."Education is nice, but Health and Social Welfare are more important," says celebrity social worker Freddy Wall. "This is where the people who really need government help are: the marginalized of our society. If we don't help them, what kind of a nation are we?"
4."Hey, I've got a crazy idea," says noted libertarian and bird-watcher Roxanne Rifkin. "How about the government stops taking so much tax from people? Give us a tax cut and we'll buy the things we need ourselves. People need to be weaned off the government teat!"
My crime is a serious problem, is there an option were I can lower my crime and still keep my economy at thriving or higher?
