| Date | 19:21:50, February 19, 2007 CET | From | AM Radical Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2362 |
| Message | We cannot vote for a budget which will give us a deficit of around 1,000,000,000 LIK. Without corresponding cuts elsewhere or some incrase in revenue, this sotr of measure will destroy our economy. |
| Date | 20:28:22, February 19, 2007 CET | From | AM Populist Social Democrats | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2362 |
| Message | If this passes, we will propose a consumption tax increase to cover the deficit if the SSP has not found some other means. A 1% consumption tax increase should cover 1 billion LIK easily. |
| Date | 09:52:21, February 20, 2007 CET | From | Democratic National Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2362 |
| Message | We hope the Right-Wing Liberals will join the rest of us real liberals in voting against this socialist budget which sees the government further increase spending and drive us further into debt, bringing Likatonia into an economic wasteland. Why isn't economics cumpolsary in education? |
