| Message | This is the right one...we believe that with this we can cut taxes , while giving our people high-social service system. |
| Date | 03:25:58, April 26, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Labour Party of Cobura | To | Debating the Budget proposal of September 2394 |
| Message | This is a recepie for economic ression and an economy going backwards, We oppose this bill since it would wreck the economy, destory public services and lead to Cobura being a poor place, both in terms of economic competiveness and in how we treat our citizens and worse off. The 50% cut to defence will leave us in an extremely weak position internationally! The cut in infrustruce and transport will cause serious harm to our economy, since their would be the infrustruce nor the transport system in place to support the modern economy of Cobura The near 50% cut in Health and social services will mean that their will be cuts in hospitals, bed shortages, lack of modern medicine, medical workers being laid off, and hospital closures. The cut in Education will mean our schools will have to cut back on books, computers, modern teaching methods, equiptment for learning and sport, schools being unable to afford new blocks, playing fields or repairs and staff being laid off. The cut in trade and industry will harm our economy both at home and aboard with the lack of ability to make Cobura look attractive to foriegn investors, and the lack of money in place to help Cobura to carry on growing economically. This proves that the ill-liberal party and the Modern unEconomic Party are leading Cobura to economic meltdown and poverty, and that the responsible parties of the DLP, CRP and CP (maybe) know how to run a responible economy, balancing he welfare state and the need for a strong economy, rather then the economic disaster the LP-MEP are making, and their irresponbile economic policies. |
