| Date | 22:02:58, September 07, 2007 CET | From | Neo-Marxist revolutionary Party | To | Debating the National Budget, January 2452 |
| Message | Agreed. Although we would prefer slightly higher expenditure in the department of foreign affairs we do recognise that the national budget does need serious alterations so as to reverse the deficit the country is currently under. Therefore we understand, recognise and thoroughly approve of this proposed budget by our honorable friends, to be adequate to the current needs. |
| Date | 22:07:34, September 07, 2007 CET | From | Communist Party of Beluzia and Bailon | To | Debating the National Budget, January 2452 |
| Message | Why don't we decrease justice and defense spending and leave infrastructure and transport as it is? And how about we pay the head of government a living wage, no $10,000,000! I say one million tops. We could also keep internal affairs a bit higher, and even foreign affairs, for international solidarity. I think one way to solve the financial crisis is to increase the luxury tax, and especially the corporate tax. |
| Date | 22:44:43, September 07, 2007 CET | From | Constitutional Monarchy Party | To | Debating the National Budget, January 2452 |
| Message | You're mad... reduce the head of government? It may be your aim to eradicate money, but the HOG needs the money to carry out his business. And as for the reduction in Foreign Affairs... Captain Barbossa is laughing at it. He says that that would barely pay the wages of all the foreign office emplyees. what you are saying is that you want the Foreign minister to be able to carry out 1/5 of their duty? |
| Date | 07:42:24, September 09, 2007 CET | From | National Conservative Party | To | Debating the National Budget, January 2452 |
| Message | Once again, I would like to point out the Communist Party's atempt to weak security budgets. Perhaps they would like for the bloodshed of years ago to reoccur? |
| Date | 06:36:30, September 10, 2007 CET | From | People's Populist Party - Zogist Mafia | To | Debating the National Budget, January 2452 |
| Message | Beluzia's Liberal betrayer must be returned to Rutania where they belong... |
| Date | 17:25:33, September 10, 2007 CET | From | Beluzian Catholic Nationalist Union | To | Debating the National Budget, January 2452 |
| Message | We will support this budget, with the budget for certain key areas will be corrected when our deficient status is resolved. |
