| Message | Since Health, Education, Transportation and all related government services are being privatized, all related oversight bureaus will be phased out and shut down. |

| Message | Why the increases in various departments? |
| Date | 17:12:48, September 10, 2007 CET | From | Imperial Cildanian Egoists | To | Debating the Budget proposal of 2453 |
| Message | If we left the uneliminated portions of the budget at their current levels, we could reduce sales tax across the board to 1% |
| Date | 18:08:09, September 10, 2007 CET | From | Justice League of Cildania | To | Debating the Budget proposal of 2453 |
| Message | Our military defense is in shambles, and has been in disrepair for the last two decades. Much more than what is granted here is needed to update our technology and equipment. This increase will help us handle international situations much more smoothly, since currently we are known as "toothless" to foreign aggressors. As for civil defense and internal affairs, when a government phases out thousands of make-work jobs, the less-productive tend to take the path of least resistance and turn to petty crime rather than update their job skills. Increased police funding is proposed here to offset the predictions of increased crime. In turn the Justice department will need a tremendous increase to handle the higher load of criminal cases. Also, as the nation switches back to a system of voluntary contracts from government enforcement, further increases in the Justice department are necessary to handle the increased arbitration. Once privatization is relatively complete and the nation is stable, we can reduce spending. Our primary concern needs to be maintaining the peace and security of the Cildanian people and property. |

| Message | No money for basic Education or Health. Completely Unacceptable,against human rights. Only a Fascist or right wing party could come up with such a proposal. |
| Date | 19:43:13, September 10, 2007 CET | From | Justice League of Cildania | To | Debating the Budget proposal of 2453 |
| Message | Think of it as no more money being extorted away from people who now can afford to choose and buy their own education and health, which is of higher quality and more affordable now that they are free from pressure groups, regulation and government monopoly. Human Rights in Cildania will be much more substantial now than before. Only a power-hungry fascist or other such tyrannically socialist party that sees the population as hapless cattle would ever oppose such a boon for this nation and its individuals. |
| Date | 19:51:43, September 10, 2007 CET | From | Imperial Cildanian Egoists | To | Debating the Budget proposal of 2453 |
| Message | PRF, please clarify, why would the state have funding for education and health, when the government is providing no health or education services to fund? |
