Solvency Gap

When Should I Run This Position?

• This should be run when the government presents a fairly large plan and either specifies the timeframe as “now” or does not specify the timeframe.

• If the Gov does not specify the timeframe, be sure to clarify with a leading question that this will happen now

Format

• A. Harms/Status Quo: Re-present the problems inherent in the status quo that the plan is supposed to fix

• B. The Problem: Here discuss how the removal of the current system without adequate ramp up time will increase the current harms

• C. Mismatch of Solvency: The plan was supposed to solve a problem that is somewhat under control, but the circumstances will be vastly different because of inadequacies of the system during the ramp up period

• D. Impacts: Discuss all of their original problems and how they will be much, much worse
