times out 11-1-2 and is enacted. -coppro

In today’s economy, the Government can run out of SPs.  This is an unfortunate occurrence.  Fortunately, there are methods for the Government to get out of debt.  Add a new subrule to “The Government”, titled “Printing Money”:

If any action would cause the Government to have 0 or less SPs, the Government is said to have Defaulted.  If the Government Defaults, it prints more money, gaining an amount of SPs equal to twice what it would have gained if it Taxed its citizens.  The Stimulus Package inflates, and at each point in the rules where it states an SP value, that value is increased by 1, unless it refers to gaining (“receiving”) SP or becoming eligible to gain an SP.

This interacts strangely with “The Government Can!“‘s formulaic values.

Yeah.  Taxation changes to 1/3 if below 13, 1/4 if 13 or more.  Welfare changes to gain 1 if at least 2 but fewer than 10.  It doesn’t break anything, though.

imperial I thought the government payouts should just fail - a limit to public services.
