| Message | The cuts to education and healthcare aren't so large, and that insanely massive infrastructure budget has been cut a bit. The good news is that we now have world-class transportation and roads. |
| Date | 20:15:08, June 17, 2007 CET | From | Wiedervereinigten Nationalisten | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2415 |
| Message | Also, instead of cutting the Environment and Tourism budget, I've increased it on par to the increased agricultural budget. Really, everything aside from three ministries has been given an increase. |

| Message | The Crown Loyalists vote aye. |
| Date | 23:23:47, June 17, 2007 CET | From | Liberal Party of Hulstria | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2415 |
| Message | Bigger budget means bigger government, We don't like big government. |
| Date | 00:56:47, June 18, 2007 CET | From | Crown Loyalists | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2415 |
| Message | The Crown Loyalists must point out that this is not necessarily true. Budgets needs to be increased yearly to account for inflation. As well, it is very much possible that an agency can gain funding to accomplish its assigned tasks without increasing the size of the bureaucracy. |
| Date | 01:19:47, June 18, 2007 CET | From | Wiedervereinigten Nationalisten | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2415 |
| Message | So he Liberals would have us wasting government funds? There is no way to give tax cuts, as reducing income taxes by even 1% would take up the entire surplus. The only resolution is to spend the surplus. |
