So much debt and no cash (Kebir Blue)

I have -4,753.83B SC$ cash
And -8,020.00B SC$ debt
I've been cutting my military, increasing the number of private corporations by advertising and trying to improve the countries income in general but still nothing. Help me please.

post your country name

Oh right sorry, Exodus

You have to get your welfare up Woodrow. SS is fine at 102 but you must have transport at 100 or a bit more and health at over 100, maybe 120 going higher as your country gets bigger. Lower your govt. salaries by about 25% too. Ideally you want govt salary to be about 75% of average corp salary, no less tho or else people will leave to go work somewhere else.
As far as I can see its because you are only producing at 99% because of low welfare. Welfare up + corp welfare up = more production = more $$$
Try this for a bit and see how it goes, you should be fine.

And I cant see what quality supplies you are buying for your country use, (not corp supplies) but it looks a little costly, be sure you have it set to buy 100Q for your country.

Ok, I lowered my government salaries and increased my welfare for corporations. How do I lower the quality of supplies I'm buying for my country though? Thanks for the help.

Its under the settings > automation > automatic systems tab on your country home page. Check box and enter 100.

what about company buying quality and upgrades are these set

also shopping habits did you buy a bunch of military or hospitals?
having an enterprise can help if it makes a return being it don't have to worry about stopping growth for workers. As long as the money is flowing and productive you can then send money from it to country. I paid off 4Tr in military shopping debt in a weekend

if you want a high welfare index I suugest you look at what quality the supplies your country is buying them in at. The higher the quality of the products, the higher the welfare index will be and the higher your corps production rate will be as well.

Just think about this one carefully.

Hey James, at the moment quality of stuff your country uses (except military) has no effect on anything except the price you pay. It is on the 'to do' list apparently.
