| Message | Cutting the defense budget by 90% seems a bit drastic, don't you think? |
| Date | 08:31:40, August 28, 2007 CET | From |  Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2447 (Short Term) |
| Message | Over the last few years, we have placed significant investment into our defence network, and our military has the best, most uptodate equipment available. We feel that scaling back for five years, to allow fnding for an ambitious Nuclear Energy package, will be sustainable. |
| Date | 11:31:05, August 28, 2007 CET | From | Permissive Social Union | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2447 (Short Term) |
| Message | We do not wish to see a military technology gap open up between ourselves and those who would enslave us, that would, by our reckoning, take more than 25 years to then close and cost double the money. We feel it would be better to make the defence investment sooner rather than later. |
| Date | 18:10:50, August 28, 2007 CET | From | Commonwealth Workers Army | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2447 (Short Term) |
| Message | The Axis Mundi Sturm und Drang Partei doesn't believe that Nuclear Energy is the answer. We also don't believe that crippling our ability to adapt our defence, is a good idea. We are not convinced by this obsession with the nuclear industry.. are we the only party not getting kickbacks from the Likatonia Nuclear Fuel Lobby or something? |
| Date | 19:54:19, August 28, 2007 CET | From | Likaton Coalition of the Willing | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2447 (Short Term) |
| Message | Given the unpopularity of this Bill, the Finance Ministry will rethink our plans, and withdraw AMPS support. |
