Miss President wants to talk to you

Rennie looked up, his gaze sweeping over the members of Congress.

The Federal Expenditure Savings Act

As soon as he finished speaking, the entire parliament erupted in commotion.

The lawmakers began to whisper among themselves.

"Saving federal spending, is this what we're discussing now?"

"Those veterans won't agree."

"I'm afraid another bloodshed is about to occur."

The bulk of government spending now goes towards the resettlement costs of veterans from the last world war.

If you want to cut government spending, the first thing to do is to target them.

The tragedy of the crackdown on veterans in Washington last year is still fresh in people's minds, and now Rosef wants to take the initiative to provoke this conflict.

What courage!

In that case, why don't we vote?

Let's see how you, Rosef, deal with that group of veteran expeditionary forces!

Louise sat in the spectator stands, quietly watching the members of parliament whisper among themselves.

She couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

really!

These lawmakers made no mention of how much government spending they had wasted.

When it comes to cutting government spending, the topic immediately shifts to veterans.

It seems that as long as there are veterans in front of them, they can resolve all conflicts.

but

According to Louise's assessment, the bill should ultimately pass.

Although the veterans' lobbying group is a force to be reckoned with, it lacks a stable financial backer, making it difficult to form a unified opposition in Congress.

The real trouble will come after the bill is passed.

Although those veterans had few channels to voice their opinions, they were extremely proactive.

Once they find out that their resettlement allowance has been cut again, they will probably organize themselves and come to Washington to demand an explanation.

What should we do next...?

Louise couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Meanwhile, Rosef, hearing the council members' discussion, also began to waver.

She lowered her head and asked Eleanor in a low voice.

Are we doing something wrong?

"what?"

Elinor asked, puzzled, "How could you have such an idea?"

"Because those veterans are so pitiful."

Rosef's values ​​are very simple: those who shed blood and sacrificed their lives for their country should not be treated this way.

By forcibly reducing the resettlement allowance for retired veterans, aren't they just being bad people?

Eleanor could sense Rosef's feelings.

The white hamster was filled with guilt at that moment.

Eleanor thought for a moment and said:

“Ms. President, I think you’ve misunderstood something. The bill we’re pushing for today is the Government Spending Savings Act, not the Veterans Settlement Cost Reduction Act.”

Is there any difference?

Rosef didn't understand that the resettlement costs for veterans were originally part of government spending.

"That's the problem."

Eleanor said, "Federal government spending is not just about veterans' resettlement, but some people confuse the two concepts."

"The previous Hoffer administration, even during the Great Depression, indulged in extravagance and waste, resulting in the current government spending being in deficit almost every year. Shouldn't we be saving money?"

"But as soon as someone suggests saving money, someone will immediately use retired veterans as a shield."

"As a result, the real accounting issues were never discussed again."

Eleanor's assessment that the Hoffer administration was wasteful is not entirely unfounded, given the former president's criticism.

Her wastefulness does not refer to indulgence or embezzlement, but rather to the government's squandering of money on a massive number of flawed projects due to incompetent economic policies.

It almost reached the point of bleeding.

What Louise had to do was stop it all.

"But……"

Rosef thought of last year's veterans' expedition, "What if those veterans come to Washington again?"

She absolutely did not want to send troops to suppress them like Hoffer had done.

Even if Louise were to do that, Rosef vowed that she would definitely stop Louise's decision.

Eleanor looked at Rosef's face.

The newly appointed president looked worried, her features all scrunched up.

He thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll go and face those veterans for you then, okay?"

"no!"

Rosef was stunned. What nonsense was Eleanor talking about?

"You want to fight 20,000 people by yourself? Impossible. They are all veterans with professional combat knowledge, and there are quite a few spellcasters among them. How could you possibly win?"

Eleanor burst into laughter.

What are you thinking about?

He said, "I'm here to help you with the veterans' expeditionary force issue! Don't worry, I can handle it!"

Rosef asked skeptically, "Are you really sure you can do this?"

"Believe me!"

Eleanor assured him, "They'll be absolutely satisfied!"

After all, he had the system's help and the reference experience of Roosevelt in his previous life in handling the veterans' expedition.

They still have confidence.

And

Eleanor thought to herself, if only millions of veterans could be managed properly.

Can it be used for our own benefit?

……

Soon, the vote results for the Government Spending Austerity Act were announced.

62: 3.

It can be said that it was unanimously approved.

However, many members of parliament looked somewhat gloating when they voted.

They really want to know.

How does Rosef plan to deal with the veterans?

Speaker Reni nodded after seeing that the vote had passed.

“Very well, let’s discuss the second bill next.”

He flipped through the documents in his hands. "Next item, the Prohibition Amendment Act."

The voice just fell.

The entire venue erupted in a thunderous roar.

The expressions on countless people's faces changed.

What's going on?!

Why are today's proposals all so significant?

Chapter Twenty-Six: The Opponents' Conspiracy

In the hall, a middle-aged man suddenly looked up.

Andrew Walstead.

This is a heavyweight figure, the chairman of the Judicial Committee, and a key legislator of the National Prohibition Enforcement Law.

He stood up almost instinctively.

"This is not on the agenda..."

But as soon as he spoke, someone next to him grabbed him.

"sit down!"

"Now is not the time!"

Andrew gritted his teeth and sat down again.

"This was a surprise attack!"

He told those around him, "We cannot let this bill pass; it would destroy more than a decade of our hard work!"
