Right, seeing as how there's barely anyone in the cabinet who can scrutinise this, can everyone check my sums are okay?

I THINK it's alright. I've put it here rather than Announcements because it's pointless to have multiple threads and I just want it over as fast as possible...

As opposition leader I support this budget and urge its passing so governing may continue as soon as possible.
Pokemaniac John - January 24, 2009 02:22 PM (GMT)
My brain and calculator both agree you have two units unused.
Cieran - January 24, 2009 02:25 PM (GMT)
I shoved them in the savings, it is alright now?...
Pokemaniac John - January 24, 2009 02:27 PM (GMT)
Strictly speaking I think "Total Budget Units Available" should be 81, but besides that it looks fine to me.
Cieran - January 24, 2009 02:37 PM (GMT)
How come? At 80% economy rating it's BTRx3...
Pokemaniac John - January 24, 2009 02:37 PM (GMT)
Isn't that one budget units left for spending after moving reserves around? I forget.

Budget Units? How many of them does the government have?
The amount of Budget Units there are available for the government depends on the BTR and the Economy Rating on the Opinion Polls. The list below shows how exactly the number of budget units is calculated.
Economy Rating ~ Number of Units Available
5% ~ BTR x 0.5
6-9% ~ BTR x 0.6
10-15% ~ BTR x 0.7
15-19% ~ BTR x 0.8
20-29% ~ BTR x 0.9
30-39% ~ BTR x 1
40-49% ~ BTR x 1.2
50-59% ~ BTR x 1.5
60-69% ~ BTR x 2
70-79% ~ BTR x 2.5
80-84% ~ BTR x 3
85-89% ~ BTR x 3.5
90-94% ~ BTR x 4
95% ~ BTR x 5
Any decimals will be rounded up. |

Yes, that's all fine. What I mean is, isn't the "Total Budget Units Available" supposed to be the budget units available after putting them into the reserves? As I said, I'm not sure on this.
Cieran - January 24, 2009 02:55 PM (GMT)
Oh right. Yes, yes it is. I'll just change it...

Hang on a minute, why is this in Debates at all? You only need a vote if you change the BTR...?
Cieran - January 24, 2009 05:15 PM (GMT)
I do? I thought all budgets had to be passed by vote...well if not, then I'm happy :D...
Pokemaniac John - January 24, 2009 05:36 PM (GMT)
Yup, see
here.EDIT: Moved to Announcements.

Not thanks to my sneaky plans. ;)
Cieran - January 24, 2009 05:47 PM (GMT)
Well then huzzah. *Gets on with another bill*...

As Supreme Commander of NERV of the Ostentian Reform Party, I officially state my support for this bill, with one question:
What are reserves?
miniyoda008 - January 24, 2009 05:54 PM (GMT)
Reserves are money units that are carried over to later terms, enabling money to be saved up, often for large projects. At the moment there's lots of reserves, because the economy rating's too high.

Economy rating can never be too high.
