| Message | "If these companies are failing, maybe we should just accept that they just weren't keeping up in the global market instead of throwing away tax payer's money on corporations that would fail in a free market. I mean, it's completely rediculous and fiscally irresponsible to invest tax payer's money in a corporation that's failing because tax paying consumers aren't buying their products." ~Michale Tucker, Shadow Finance Minister |

| Message | "It's a very hard descision. On the one hand, we cannot ignore the fail of vital industries like the train service or power plants. Therefore, it can be reasonable to invest in these companies. But on the other hand, nationalizing is a serious act, hich cannot be undune as well. The abuse of this law can harm the free market, therefore we will try to find another solution." ~ Wilhelm Nassau, President of the Rebublic |
