| Message | This bill is absolutely ridiculous. What exactly is the rationale behind this? You want to stop funding our health care programs, destroy the environment and put unsafe food into the mouths of our citizens? Party Royale will not stand for any of this. |

| Message | You can't kill government spending in these areas. Reduce: Yes, but delete, I think not! |
| Date | 12:21:56, May 30, 2007 CET | From | Social Reform Party | To | Debating the The 80% Government Expenditure Reduction Act of 2411 |
| Message | This is insane. |
| Date | 14:29:46, May 30, 2007 CET | From |  Fair Capitalism Party | To | Debating the The 80% Government Expenditure Reduction Act of 2411 |
| Message | Yes, you're basically abolishing these ministries. Crazy. |

| Message | Why is it crazy, fellow capitalists (or in the FCP's case CINO=capitalist in name only)? What real business does government have in the areas we've eliminated? Do you want government telling your doctor what to do. Or who you can trade with across the globe? Besides some of these positions are just symbolic political appointments and nothing more. I thought you guys wanted less government and bloat? Why should the head of government need money? And all the necessary operations like defense and justice have been streamlined for fiscal efficency but by no means eliminated. The justice budget was even increased to make the system fairer! THE ERA OF BIG GOVERNMENT IN ALORIA IS OVER. It's time to stand behind your principals and stop voting for spending increases (as you did with the 26B to 29B hike) and for rampant deficit spending. |

| Message | You don't seem to think that elsewhere. |
| Date | 19:24:10, May 30, 2007 CET | From | Industrialist Party of Aloria | To | Debating the The 80% Government Expenditure Reduction Act of 2411 |
| Message | 1) Do you want government telling your doctor what to do. -Yes we do. We do not want unethical practices in the health care profession. 2) Or who you can trade with across the globe? -No, for obvious reasons. |
