    Well, I can draft something on it and post the plan I had in mind if that's suitable Chancellor?

    That is more than suitable. I would like to somehow ensure we have a budget passed before we are able to allocate money for your legislation however.

    Of course Chancellor. I will wait until I know we have the budget before making my suggestion to the Senate.

    Mr. Speaker (Sinrebirth) please prepare the budget for floor debate. In order to get other legislation passed, we need to have our budget settled as soon as possible.

    I believe we should go out and launch humanitarian efforts on the systems that suffered the worst of the Empire's wrath. Take the Endor system, for example. The Ewoks aided the Rebellion in their noble cause, and yet somehow we have not yet sent teams to aid them in the removal of the debris that pollutes their forests. The wreckage of the second Death Star hath poured upon these humble beings like fiery rain. And it's not just Endor that suffered. Think of the Bodach'i. Noble creatures who were enslaved by the Empire. They too have not yet recovered. Families were separated and have yet to be reunited. If we are to fix the galaxy, we must first heal it!

    *inclines his head from his pod*

    As you wish.

    *The Mandalorian pod moves forward.*

    I would ask that Senator ConservativeJedi321 of Skustell and Senator Snokers of Duro join me on the committee if they are willing and able. This would give us the perspective of warriors, diplomats and shipyard and weapons manufacturers in one committee while also giving voice to both political parties and the Independents.

    *looks at Senator Snokers with a warning in his eye*

    Do be careful, Senator. The Centrist Party will expect a full report.

    And a full report the Centrist Party shall have, Speaker Sinrebirth. Have faith, you'll find no bent politics here.

    *clears my throat*

    Are we gathered here to share nods and glances, or are we here to mend the wounds of a galaxy more marred than it's ever been? It's not that I don't love our little pleasantries... it's just that I am beginning to feel we are wasting time. Are my fellow senators in agreement?

    *gestures to @KnightofRen*

    Do you have something to add about the current points, rather than telling us we're wasting time?

    Some of us have raised important points, and not just made our own comments.

    *counts*

    One, we need to spend more on the defence budget to counter the Resistance. Two, the Old Empire is dead, let's not treat it like a boogeyman when it was the leadership that was corrupt, not the premise of more central control. Three, we've set up a committee. What else do you want?

    Senator Ren (knightsofren) I assign you to the budget committee with the Speaker. I expect an itemized budget from the committee forthwith. When that is completed, I will have other committee assignments available for you.

    OOC: Here is hoping we get a few more people to sign up for the game....

    I do not require knightsofren, Chancellor.

    I have it here. My staff assembled the information for me.

    *inserts the datapad, and the information spreads*

    Currently, briefly, it is split in these ways.

    50% Government Infrastructure, including Healthcare subsidiaries, schooling, local sector government, civil servant payments, public services, social welfare, housing, law and order, culture, and transport programmes.
    20% Reconstruction Grants
    20% New Republic Defence Force
    10% Foreign Aid Budget (as required under out alliances)

    *A younger human man of about thirty years examines the budget.* Excuse me, my learned colleagues but, I do have a question, several in fact. I notice that Government Infrastructure and transport programmes are in the budget, that is rather vague. I would like to know the exact amount budgeted for infrastructure improvements, and what transport programmes are being discussed?

    I fear with all this jumping at shadows that we are losing sight of what matters, trade. Above all else trade is what grows economies, what allows the hawks in the Centrists to buy there little toys to go hunting ghosts, and keeps good hard working sentients employed. I was elected in the first free and fair elections on Carratos in generations to see that trade flourishes and that the economy grows, not just for my home but, for all the galaxy. And trade tends to stagnate as planets prepare for war. The space lanes that are the life blood of economies become battlegrounds and spacestations are pieces to be won and lost in a game of Dejarik. The uncertainty of it all drives money from banks and into mattresses where it does no one any good.

    I also wonder as to how much of the military budget is going towards internal security and patrols along the hyperspace lanes. The brave men and women of the Carratos Defense Force can only protect our little patch of space, we need an intersector force to protect our valuable goods as they are transported from one port to the next, or at the very least not be in fear of pirates or other such bandits. My home was long a place of lawlessness, a haven for marauders and ruffians. I would not like to see it return to such a state.

    If we keep looking outward or for nonexistent threats we may allow things to fester right under our noses.
