A Serious Need For Economic Discussion and Policy Making

Day 332, 10:06 • Published in Turkey USA

• by PrincessMedyPi

Since we have been able to make economic policies as congressmen (I love how it says "Mr. Congressman" to me...so sexist), very few have passed. And, my question remains: why? But, the answer to my question remains...well...unanswered. Nobody has been debating the policies brought to the table. People are simply voting yes and no. Sure, some of them (like Vanja's 1337 TRY minimum wage) are ridiculous and do not require discussion. But, there has been plenty of worthwhile legislation brought to the table that deserved more than a flippant yes or no vote.So, today, with the hopes of fostering a real discussion, I am proposing a 75% import tax on grain. I think this is a good place to start considering that 99% has been shot down...twice. I hope that this time people will chime in on why they voted the way they voted. Hopefully, we can use this information to plan policy in the future.(I had a much more eloquent article, but eRepublik ate it when it booted me out and forced me to sign in again...wtg bugs in V1!)
Best,Princess
Amendment: I forgot to congratulate burakkocamis for introducing a minimum wage proposal. While 5 try seems low, at least it is a reasonable place to start.

raising the tax will make people here see that opening grain companys inside turkey will give them more profit then at foreign countryes and we need that to heppen so they will open grain companys here.

Voted yes, for obvious reasons...

The congress in turkey is a joke. Its filled with 15 year old turks who have no idea what they're doing, and strangely enough 50% of it is the TJU who seem to have switched off their brains. My "1337 try minimum wage" proposal was proof of this - 7 people voted yes and only 9 voted no!

But no one is going to read this anyway, so I propose for the next 20 days with just shut down any proposal that comes our way.

Also it seems as if I can't work, hurray!

The rest of the world is freaking out over the lack of grain, just goes to show what kind of kids are at the helm.

vanjaturk, TJU's former president was inactive for some reason and did not make order in the party's list so there are about 3 congressmen from TJU who are not even active...

be aware that after this month of grace, the prices will raise seriously, to every manufactured product and the living will became harder. in all eR I belive.
this will be a serious problem cose, how I can estimate, the prices to manufactured products will raise even with 400 - 500 %.
god look in developing the LAND industry.
