Violation – the plan does not on face increase economic engagementC. Standards1. Vacuum Test - we make a clear distinction between topical and non-topical plans. If you can look at just the plan and tell on face that there is an increase, then it is topical. As soon as you have to look at solvency evidence to determine topicality, then affirmative is automatically non-topical.2. Limits – they open the floodgates to an infinite number of cases that could eventually increase economic engagement. Even conquering Mexico with military force could be considering topical.3. Ground – they spike out of core neg arguments like Politics and CPs that are based on direct economic engagement with the target country.D. Vote negative1. F-X topicality is a voting issue – it’s impossible for the neg to predict the different chains of internal links that could lead to the aff, which skews the debate in the aff’s favor2. Extra Topicality is an independent reason to reject the affirmative. The plan directly influences something outside of the topic.
