    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.

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

      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:

      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.

                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'.

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

                        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....
