| Message | We have another financial plan to abolish what's left of the deficit and do not approve of taxing essential goods that Solentian citizens need. FIP Minister of Finance Alexander Bailen |

| Message | I also think it dissapointing that Solentian citizens must be taxed on essential goods. Consider this bill a temporary measure. If your next financial plan is introduced, and able to reduce the debt more effectively, we will vote for it. However, until the plan is seen, action must be taken to reduce the debt. Xavier Evans, Party Leader |
