| Message | We would personally like to see the defence budget cut, and that money used to improve education instead. We are spending 1.3 billion on teaching our citizens to live happy, productive lives, and 25 billion on teaching them to kill their fellow man. That is a huge imbalance. |
| Date | 16:36:48, September 04, 2007 CET | From | Conservative Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of April 2450 |
| Message | Seeing our flat tax system means revenue rise every year would we be more then happy to accept this. |
| Date | 23:36:59, September 04, 2007 CET | From | Regional Acronym Political Establishment | To | Debating the Budget proposal of April 2450 |
| Message | Bombs cost more than textbooks. |
| Date | 12:56:26, September 05, 2007 CET | From | Secular Humanist party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of April 2450 |
| Message | Indeed. Bombs do cost more. That is precisely my point. Money put into education will be a lot more valuable than money spent on defence. |
| Date | 00:15:27, September 06, 2007 CET | From | Regional Acronym Political Establishment | To | Debating the Budget proposal of April 2450 |
| Message | We have a surplus, there is no reason to decrease defense spending to increase education spending. |
| Date | 01:24:21, September 06, 2007 CET | From | Secular Humanist party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of April 2450 |
| Message | then why not increase education spending anyway ? |

| Message | Sounds fine |
