Draft: Debt Problems

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.

What do you think?

Not sure if this is usefull, unless there exists a mechanic that allows the Government to spend SP first.

I like it anyway, and we can always mess up the Government’s SP supply by proposal later. (Perhaps it’ll have to bail out Greece.)
