Why not postpone the debt?
Its expected value is
0.75*(101300*.01 - 100)+0.25*(-100)
0.75*(913)-25

The postpone debt payment has a 75% chance of getting us 900 credits this turn and a 25% chance of losing us 100 credits. This has a very good chance of helping us to significantly reduce our debt load.

The blank financial section annoys me. Please don't do that again.
We need to be doing everything we can to enhance our regrowth, while avoiding the things too upsetting.
Yes, we want to be lowering our debt, but we've discussed this and while it would be ideal to not go further into debt, it is acceptable for the purposes of increasing our wealth generation and position, with the caveat of it being an ensured thing.

Warning For Marginal Behavior - this is a bit too hostile
And yet, you apparently didn't vote on this turn, nor put up your own plan. But you still attempt to dictate to the thread, and, though I'm sure it was not your intention, seemingly to the thread QM. There is a difference between "Please don't leave sections, such as financial, blank, it is annoying." and your phrasing of "The blank financial section annoys me. Please don't do that again." That reads like you're telling the thread, and having posted immediately after the thread OP, the OP themselves, that your opinion matters more than theirs and that they will listen to you if they want to keep their jobs.
I get that you got your corporate middle management position by making the rest of your opponents look bad, but that doesn't automatically make you best manager. Or the only person whose opinion matters.
And while I do agree with the train of thought below that opening command, you pretty much made sure that anyone whom may care about the message, didn't, with the way you started your post.

I had medical tests and things over the weekend and missed the post among all the other quests. I only discovered the thread had updated last night when I was dead tired.
I'm sorry if I came across as demanding, I did not mean for things to come across as if I was dictating matters as opposed to giving my firm opinion on such things.
I still find it personally annoying that someone left a section we could have done SOMETHING to benefit ourselves blank because they didn't like the options.

If I either don't like or really understand the options presented, why should I put something in there? Just to 'fill up all our actions?' What use does it serve to do that? I don't think that the options presented are good ones to take right now, so I left the section blank. What's wrong with that? Would you object with leaving the Military or Industrial section blank if none of the options presented were immediately useful to us?

Fair enough. I feel the postponing thing to be good personally but looking at again I can see how the choices are rather limited.
What didn't you like about a 75% chance to reduce our debt by about 900 credits? How was that not immediately useful?

Military <- Recruits(Large, Trained).

We are currently entirely without air power, leaving us vulnerable to even the most primitive bombers. Forming a unit of interceptors will allow us to protect our airspace. Fortunately, our AeroSpace factories remain the best in the world.

Note: Military units automatically regenerate damage <=10%, allowing the formation of smaller, more specialized, units.

We lack an infantry force to form the foundation of our army. Training our new recruits as infantry will provide that foundation. Unfortunately, we lack the facilities to produce the proper equipment.
65%, 250x2(+20%), 2+1
Recruits(Medium, Trained) -> Infantry(Medium, Trained)
NOTE: The 2x and +1 penalties are a result of lacking factories specced to infantry gear.

Training of non-officer military, including future units, increased by one degree.

While the United States military is defunct, its assets still remain. By liquidating what remains we can reduce our debt by as much as 5%!

Recreate Military-Industrial Complex:
The military-industrial complex sustained a great deal of damage during the War. While our nonexistent military was unaffected, the same cannot be said for our newly reconstituted forces.

A newly expanded production system would fill this shortfall and reduce the cost of further military expansion.

Postponing literally means that a year's worth of interest is waived (saving 900 credits total). It doesn't mean adding the interest to our debt.

Use double downs. Also I'd say it's better to build some interceptors, and swap second industrial action for more profitable factories.

Huh, I could have sworn I did double down on XCOM action. Only for this one though, as other actions have good enough chances and doubling on them would be an overkill.

Does the cost '250x0.5' means we'll only pay 125?
...I think I actually prefer this plan.
