KNOWLEDGE MAKES US STRONGCongressional Intern Leaks Plans for a Closed-Door Vote on Debt Default
Scope of national debt has been "hidden" from the public, says whistleblower
The Congressional Theater in Kuriyama City
KURIYAMA CITY--At 9:43 AM this morning, several documents were leaked to our offices at NPB, exposing Congressional plans to vote on whether the Allied States of Kuriyama should default on its debt. In a note attached to the documents, the anonymous whistleblower claimed that the vote was being obscured from the public eye to "avoid economic panic", in defiance of the 2nd Amendment to the Kuriyaman Constitution in 1997, which enforced transparency on all Congressional votes 'not on matters of national security'. Along with the bill itself and the schedules for the vote, several documents were leaked that revealed that government money was not being spent on approved budget items such as social programs, but rather on military expansion and international influence.
"Corruption is ABSOLUTELY INSANE [sic]," the note claimed. "The Congresspeople of the Workingman Party are TERRIBLE at the whole socialism thing, and I can't stand by and watch it anymore. Our young country may not survive it if I do."
Congressional Spokeswoman Mary Doe (W-CD) announced in a statement that the bill on the debt default was genuine, and claimed that the closed-door nature was well within the National Security Clause of the 2nd Amendment. She denied knowing of the financial documents, and called for a full investigation into the validity of the documents and into the people responsible for the misappropriation of funds.
Economic analysts say that debt default could be catastrophic for the socialist nation. "The Allied States relies on peaceful coexistence with the capitalist world around it to survive," said Professor Peter Ivanov, a teacher of economic theory at the St. Patricksburg University. "It's an unfortunate fact of socialism that is not yet global. We rely on money coming in to support ourselves, and debt default could very well end that revenue."
