| Message | "As far as I am concerned, the financial wellbeing of the Health and Social Services division is quite underfunded. We approve of this allocation in funds towards the H.&.S.S. division as it is greatly needed. Over all, this budget proposal has my support and we encourage all other fellow Ministers to show such as well. Thank you." -Health & Social Services Minister Lorenzo Cien Liberal Democratic Party |

| Message | "As the Finance Minister, I am the one who constructed this. As most Ministers and parties would assume, I support this budget proposal and hopefully will see that every party agrees with this. This budget proposal was constructed to allow us to allocate more funds to the poorly suplemented divisions in Jakania and increase their standards accross the board. I can't imagine why their would be any skepticism about this unless you are concerned with the fact we only have a 2 billion JAK surplus. However, in time, our investments will allow us the capability to implement a larger budget and collect more revenue. With that, our economy and national fiscal situation will grow and improve for the best. From this, Jakania's national and international standing in the market and economic value will increase towards a more positive light and will establish us as a more stable country. Thank you." - Finance Minister Adlai Stevenson Liberal Democratic Party |

| Date | 00:22:46, March 21, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Republican Party | To | Debating the United Budget of 2337 |
| Message | We offer our full support behind this budget proposal. |
| Date | 01:13:30, March 21, 2007 CET | From | Jakanian Liberal Socialists | To | Debating the United Budget of 2337 |
| Message | We fully support this budget and applaud the LDP for their commitment to keeping a balanced budget. We recognise it is regretable that such a large percentage go to the military, and back into our country's economy, or to our people, but our defence minister informs us that he believes it to be a neccesary evil at this time. No doubt a report from him to the Council on the state of the military should be forthcoming; and if not now, then when his term as defence minister ends. |

| Message | Very well. We thank all parties for their forms of support and generally see that this is approved of. Now, we send this to a vote. |
| Date | 22:46:05, March 21, 2007 CET | From | Moderate Republican Party | To | Debating the United Budget of 2337 |
| Message | Sorry, this budget proposal passed before we were able to vote "yes" for it. |
