What is the priority of your nation's budget?

Postby Trive 38 » Tue Sep 20, 2016 4:11 pm

What do you think should be the priority on a country's budget?

Me: I personally think it should be Education, since it's literally the basis for creating a good economy.

Currently, the largest federation expenditure is state telecomms company, FerdNet, at $18 145 million. This covers approximately 89% of all costs related to internet, cellphone, and all other communication services, and is adjusted to income levels. The second-largest expenditure is primary and secondary education, at $15 302 million, although this is primarily funded through local government. This provides universal free public education to all those ages 8 to 18. The third-largest expenditure is transportation, at $8 826 million, which is primarily focused on rail travel, with smaller quantities for riverine and aerial operations and regulation, as well as a larger portion for roads. The fourth largest budgetary expense would be the national defense (including the Gendarmerie, Ground Force, Air Army, and Weather Patrol) at $8 685 million, or 2,9% of GDP. This portion provides funding to the various armed forces branches.

Infrastructure. Welfare and education are the goal, but that starts with reliable facilities.

Currently, a little over 93% of our budget is devoted to protecting the freedom and capitalism of not only our country, but of our allies and like minded people worldwide, from communist aggression, by waging a worldwide campaign against the Marxist hordes not only militarily, when the need arises, but in scientific advancement.

The Empire spends mostly on defence, especially defence of the realm and its allies, and also its related scientific research such as the space program too.

Our next priorities are Education, healthcare, welfare, and transportation, but the states and territories also share the costs on our schools and universities, universal healthcare systems, many social safety nets, roads, and public transit systems in the cities and villages.

Welfare (subsided housing, pensions, savings) and education are prioritized by the government. However, the People's Progressive Front has committed to increasing defense expenditure in order to maintain Nusaresa's economic and military position in the region.

Education is the most prioritized sector with healthcare, welfare, infrastructure and scientific research are the main priorities. Defense has a sensible budget because we are not a war mongering nation.

Education and industry in the great plan of the government for innovation to stimulate GDP growth. We have major research centers and scientific and industrial conglomerates who work for a continuous development of our society thanks to a greater human capital. To this reason, the state takes care of the spending for investment and for research and the state bear the expenses for making totally free the flow of information and knowledge to the people.

The priority of our budget has always been the same.
First is Environment, this is why half our nation is in environmental protection. After all, our powers rely on the environment for help.

Followed by Education, just because it's not standardized doesn't mean we don't care about it. We just care about it in our bizarre, unique way.

Next is Welfare, orphans, single parents, the few poor, homeless, disabled people and refugees should get all the help they need.

Then there's Healthcare, how are we supposed to have free healthcare if we don't prioritize it? Am I right?

Everything else is only of average importance. With the exception of Law & Order and Defense, which are not funded at all.
