am I doing it right??

[Jason Stern]

class Government
{
    static void Main()
    {
        try
        {
            Application.Run(new Economy());
            Application.Run(new ForeignAffairs());
        }
        catch (Exception)
        {
            throw new MoneyAtIt();
        }
    }
}

I know I shouldn't use generic exceptions since they may hide the real problem...

A generic exception may not catch the ShouldBeInSoapBox exception, which is a special kind exception that is thrown when IsInLounge and IsAboutPolitics are both TRUE.

Not at all. You seem to have associated "government" with "class". What on earth were you thinking? There are also a bug in your code:

throw new MoneyAtIt();

This should be: throw taxpayers' MoneyAtIt(); Furthermore, your whole design and implementation seems to be predicated on the concept that the government is running the economy. To date, no evidence has been presented to support this wild premise.

And what if OutOfMemoryMoney exception occurs? How can you throw more money when don't have any? Oh, wait you can that's why we're discussing it now :)

Try
{
FederalReserve.PrintMoreMoney();
}
Catch(MoneyException ex)
{
China.Borrow(Amount.Billions);
Germany.Borrow(Amount.Billions);
Japan.Borrow(Amount.Billions);
SaudiArabia.Borrow(Amount.Billions);
}
Finally
{
Military.Run(Action.Invade, Country.Random(AxisOfEvil));
}

...you're probably not :)

I've always wondered if any guy in real life says 'was it good for you', seems to me the same rule applies. If you have to ask, then the answer is 'no'.

...couldn't you just use a cast? throw (taxpayers) MoneyAtIt();

[Russell Jones]

try { ... } catch (OutOfMoneyException ex) { Economy.Money.Print(); } Is the normal way!

[kirankss]

Hmm this sounds like a better way of doing it!!!

yes and no.... you aren't changing congress money into taxpayer's money. The money's original type is taxpayers, therefore, you would have to cast the taxpayers money into congressional budget money, or debt money, or something. :) At least when I spend it there is always something to get back.... so maybe it should be casting it into a black hole....

Sort of like MoneyAtIt = Nothing ...in Visual Basic?

Then there's "poli" meaning many, and "tics" meaning blood-sucking creatures. :laugh:
