Does the new SQ better meet the goals?
“Solvency: one of four stock issues in policy debate. It argues the ability
of a plan to work and to solve or significantly reduce the harm(s) identified by the affirmative.”
“The affirmative plan must successfully solve or at least reduce in a significant manner the
problems the affirmative presents or the affirmative s identification of a problem is useless. The negative can attack this issue both by showing that the plan will not solve
the harms sufficiently, or that it simply cannot be enacted as stated by the affirmative.”
