Inflation Bill

Post by Malliki »

I don't agree with this bill either. The bounties should not be increased. 250 Erbs for becoming a citizen? Come on. The whole point of issuing more money is to devalue the Erb.

That was an epic fail on the part of whoever wrote that Bill. :D

"Print more monies! We need more monies! Not nuff monies!"
"Umkay, now we've got more monies, may as well start doing out more monies."
"Wate wut?"

The new citizens' Erb would be decreased in real terms, as it's only a four-fold increase compared to the ten-fold increase in total Erb in the system.

That said, however... I don't know why it was seen as necessary to increase new citizens' Erb at all. Especially since the newly-printed Erb is going to sit in the Crown Account for a long time before it trickles out, making an increased level of new citizens' Erb suddenly much bigger as a proportion of the Erb in non-Crown circulation. Kinda does the opposite of what it was supposed to...

I suggest the Duke suggests an amendment to the bill removing the bounty increase.

And advising an increase in the number of bounties. Does what Andreas want, and gets the money out there, but keep the devaluation we seek.

Your Grace, if I may make a comment - if that's your objection, you're misreading the bill, and ignoring your ex-Duke. The money sitting in the crown account for a long time before it trickles out is exactly the inflation we at the Treasury (and master Scott) want most fervently to avoid. Clause E.3 is exactly so all the new money can hit the streets almost instantly. Normal citizens will end up with between 1500-2500. With that in mind, 250 for a new citizen is the height of cheapness.

Very well, but I should tell you now it's Erik and Mike you should be making your arguments to. In all honesty I couldn't give a flying f*ck how things turn out, so I'll let you duke it out with them at the Front Gate and I'll cast any vote according to where they both stand when the smoke has cleared.

I'm good with it. Though it just puts the argument off for later, it gets us part of the way there.
