For the American citizens who do not go the eUnited States Forums, whether it is due to the name calling trolls or you are simply not interested, I felt it important to make you aware of this months budget. In the thread Ask the President of the United States I asked that read only access to the ‘private’ Congressional forum be granted to all citizens, I will let you decide if their reasons for not doing so are legit. Currently there is a budget being debated behind the closed doors of Congress, it is kind of silly that the debate is considered ‘private’ when anyone can see the budget. Why would the Pfeifferist not want America to see who is voting for and against the budget. Might it be they do not want America to see that any dissent is trolled into silence? Maybe they wish to keep secret the fact that even though America has not voted Pfeiffer into Congress it is he that controls Congress? I have published the budget and expressed my opinion of the various line expenditures, as you can see the budget looks much like the Mousetrap above; feel free to express yourself, but most importantly be sure to tell the Congressperson you elected how you feel about the June budget.
I. Executive
Line U1. MPP Costs $ 80,000
Line U2. Media Department $ 12,500
What is Line U2 paying for? This should be broken down into line items showing who is getting paid and why or eliminated completely.
II. Defense
Line U3. Armed Forces $ 1,700,000
Line U4. OMS $ 30,000
Again Line U4 needs line items showing which MUs received this funding and how it was spent. Currently the Sons of Liberty are the only MU receiving this funding, however the reopening of the Office of Militia Support is being discussed currently.
Line U5. Resistance War Fund $ 210,000
Eliminate. What is this paying for and shouldn't this be combined with Line U7 anyway?
Line U6. Arm America Stockpile $ 100,000
Eliminate. Again shouldn't this Line and Line U5 be a part of Line U7?
Line U7. Gold Tanking $ 200,000 (~100g)
Eliminate. IMO this makes it seem as though the Government is paying for individuals to earn Battle and Campaign Hero medals. At the very least this should be broken down to line items showing who received this gold.
Line U8. Infrastructure $ 164,800 (~60g)
Eliminate. This is a joke right? It is individual citizens, not the Government, who actually hold the infrastructure and I know of no guidelines concerning who may/may not receive this funding. Plus who's to say they won't build the companies and then leave.
Line U9. DoD Orders Votes $ 25,200
This would not even be necessary had the Top 5 not been brought back, but oh well...
III. Interior
Line U10. Dept. of Int. $ 50,000
For what? Once more line items showing how these funds are being used or totally eliminated.
IV. Treasury
Line U11. Reserve $ Remainder
Total budgeted funds: $ 2,602,500 / week
Lines U5 and U9 will be designated as such so that the executive may not stockpile money from this line. IE, the Executive may not request funds so that it has more than the standard disbursement for the line on hand at any time.
Line U7 will be designated to provide gold for damage. Any disbursements under this fund will be reported to the full Congress. This shall be managed by the Secretary of Defense in a manner to ensure at least 20 gold is added to the available Tanking Reserve each day.
Line U8 will be designated to provide for the purchase and upgrade of raw material companies or food/weapons factories. An SCI thread will be maintained of all disbursements from this line. Additionally, the purchase or upgrade of a factory must be approved through a full, non-emergency vote of the SCI.

This isn't even worth my time to respond to.
If any non-tinfoil-hat-wearing American wishes to speak with me, the Speaker of the House John Largo, or ANY Senator, I trust that their inboxes will be more than accommodating.
I know that mine will be.
Translation: I'm too important, so I'm going to tell you im too important instead of responding to a legit article 😁
^ translation im gay
😁translation: still gayer than twilight
😁^ True facts :3
It has nothing to do with importance. It has to do with a basic lack of understanding of how the budget works.
He says that Line 5 and 7 should be merged. The RW fund and gold tanking fund? Those aren't even the same, and serve two completely different purposes.
He also doesn't understand what line 7 is for, at all. We're not paying people to go out and get BH's that's stupid. We're paying people to drop MILLIONS of damage where we NEED it.
Seems you want to eliminate the majority of the budget. Things like the RW Fund, Infrastructure, Tanking Fund ... are you really blind to what they're for?.
RW Fund - Start RW's in enemy colonies as damage drains. So simple.
Tanking Fund - Incorrect, it's offering money to people to use their damage in vital battles instead of doing what the majority of us do and horde for said BH's and Ch's
Infrastructure. Yes, it's a risk, but are you telling me you'd rather horde that cash
than try to inject it into the USAF to try and improve their damage etc?
Also, it's hipocritical that you ask for some lines to be diseminated into what's bought etc, then ask for some lines to be combined AFTER they were diseminated specifically so we could tell where the money was going.
reporting is always good, but "tell the Congressperson you elected" really isn't going to do any good, is it? I voted according to the party leadership I choose to be affiliated with last cycle, not knowing that said leadership would join forces with the previous stinking elitest group before the P/HA regime was able to take control. The cycle remains unbroken because not enough players really want to take the chance and actually play this game as it could be played....
kk back to glove and potato mmkay
Well, maybe a tiny part is mine. I did sell some stuff on the market to get some quick cash and I do have a few 'paid' employees. Mostly I sell under the table and my commune workers receive weapons to fight with. Very little of what I generate is taxable.
Well it's good to see that we are still valuing every citizens opinions without trying to humiliate them for having personal thought.
We could always try to debate the topic or provide a reasonable and logical argument in comments instead. Oh wait...that's considered "childish outbursts" nowadays. *yawn*
Nevermind Dru, you're f*&ked. Thanks for the insight though, I appreciate knowing what is going on, deciding for myself and forming my own opinions. *tips her tinfoil hate and exits*
*HAT, sorry about that, but interesting typo nonetheless and probably just as relevant
or...when the top five stop letting Ajay's CP carnival continuing on and on...and how does momentum work? Because as a game we have none!
Well, George, when one of the Top 5 joins forces with Ajay, that makes it quite tough.
lol
Bia has tinfoil hate!
lol true story
I for appreciate seeing how much the USA spends per week and for that I tip my hat to you sir for that info.
Hail ONE
\o/
Line U2. see Line 9, p much the same deal
Line U10 Interior line eliminated? They already rely on on private donations to cover any shortfalls. If anything, they should be increasing the budget for MoW, B4N and any other entry point programs Interior Dept. can come up with.
I think he's just asking for line items and transparency, Rainy.
I think that's not quite as easy to provide since it's not based on any hard fixed group membership numbers - Interior help requests can fluctuate significantly depending on day of week, holidays, media & meta-game attention, etc.
BUT
there is a B4N thread open for public review @ eusaforums.
"Line U5. Resistance War Fund $ 210,000
Eliminate."
Agreed. What is the purpose of this fund? Our enemies' territories are always in a perpetual state of resistance wars, and at this rate of 10k per RW, that means we're opening 21 different RW's?
I don't get the purpose of that considering we're not even trying to win the actual wars we're supposed to be fighting anyway. Besides, doesn't this also fall more into Terra/Eden jurisdiction anyway?
@In-we-again, are you admitting Ajay is unstoppable? Because, he could have been the last election, but everyone is trying to climb the same ladder as he is...
We could actually auction the rw medals like in the old days, let them pay for the battles.
"Line U7. Gold Tanking $ 200,000 (~100g)
Eliminate.'
Disagree, but should be itemized and thoroughly explained. I'd appreciate knowing that my tax money is being spent on Joe Tank with 18k strength and God of War, and not Paul Toothless with 5k strength, Lieutentant status, and warm hands in the senator's pants.
Replies of "common sense" on this are unacceptable, as this is a government issue and not a coffee shop.
the budget debate is important, well when us as citizen have a say in it, it will be
"Line U9. DoD Orders Votes $ 25,200
This would not even be necessary had the Top 5 not been brought back, but oh well..."
DoD orders are an issue of themselves, but it may come about to be a matter of just implementation to cut back this particular part of the budget. DoD Orders might be better done if the same article is edited a second time, in order to avoid needing extra votes.
It might help by instead paying individuals with high friend counts to shout the link.

😁 and it might not hurt to reward citizens who leave a comment. Pick random days and run it like much like B4N
You guys make this game so complicated. Just let it slide.

"and it might not hurt to reward citizens who leave a comment."
This is a GREAT idea! Listen to the lady.
Add to this, back when the JCS ran the DoiD it was put into branch orders, and troops were expected to vote it up, afterall they did receive supplies paid for by the government. Surely there are more than 36 troops in the USAF that could provide some help for the absurd amount of supplies they receive daily. That would be at least 100 votes, no?
@Plugson, will you get citizenship (eUS) before PP elections come up?
Wow. Since it would be impossible to answer everyone let me just say this, thank you to all who joined in; there were a lot of great ideas proposed. Our budget can not be addressed in one article and I would support many of the suggestions made.

"Wow. Since it would be impossible to answer everyone let me just say this, thank you to all who joined in; there were a lot of great ideas proposed. "
You realize that posturing for seat in Congress just doesn't work right?
Also - why write an article about this if you aren't prepared to take the time to write replies to the comments from said article?
He may be crazy,but he is just saying.
Dru always will raise the hackles of the of the elite.
And adds a certain spice to the game.
Regarding line U10, some of that money also goes to the Dept of Education, though a lot of Dept Ed's funding comes from private donations.
Inna-gadda-da-vida was the first LP I ever owned. Yes, I am that old.
"I'd appreciate knowing that my tax money is being spent on Joe Tank with 18k strength and God of War, and not Paul Toothless with 5k strength, Lieutentant status, and warm hands in the senator's pants.
Here is how it's been run. We pay X amount for Y amount of influence (what the going rate seems to be). If it's Joe Derpsac with baz's who fill that need then so be it. Everything I've seen it used so far its Gold for Influence, not tanking like the old days.

PQ is too old!
You did not pay attention at all when I explained the budget did you?
we need more in the defense budget and arm america
I am not an elite. And this article annoys even me 😉

Yes actually I did, I just disagree with you; but I didn't try to make you look stupid -which wouldn't be all that hard. I chose instead to simply ignore you, did I hurt your feelings? You do know citizens are allowed to disagree with you, right?
