| Message | This is not fiscally responsible. |
| Date | 01:38:13, September 02, 2007 CET | From | Progressive Socialist Party | To | Debating the Pharmaceutical Industry Regulation Act |
| Message | The current way is not ethically responsive. Medication is a basic need not a commodity. Furthermore there is a surplus of almost 51.000.000.000 JAK on the national budget. For the last budget proposal it was proposed to spend 30.000.000.000 JAK to a greater military budget. We want to use this money in a way that benefits the people - not the military. |

| Message | That budget was a emergency budget in preparation for war, any future SRP budgets will obviously reflect our left wing agenda. |
