| Message | "As much as I would enjoy seeing such a small budget, I cannot bring myself to vote for this bill. There is still a comprehensive public-education system and I can't stand to see its budget slashed in such a way." -the Duke of Lawlborough, Directory Co-Majority Leader |
| Date | 05:08:36, November 05, 2007 CET | From | Hauthorn Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of September 2480 |
| Message | While we are supportive of the idea behind this bill, we think it is too dramatic. Quite simply, many people are dependent on the services implemented during the Communist government. Would we want to see spending reduced to this level? Perhaps. But it goes beyond good government into cruelty to yank away so many supports, so drastically, so suddenly. We vote against. |

| Message | "I don't think anyone realizes that these programs have being privatized. Public institutions that have got cuts were cut to stop wastage, so they don't spend on dollar in vain. However, if you still insist on unnecessary big government, fine, suggestions?" ~Michale Tucker |
| Date | 07:27:09, November 05, 2007 CET | From | National Authoritarian Movement | To | Debating the Budget proposal of September 2480 |
| Message | "What is a state who cares of nothing, who leaves everything up for the market, which thinks that expenses for its people are wastage of money, which let companies sell everything regardless if it makes ill, which thinks that it needs no army because the people will fight on their own? It is nothing more than a name. Shame on the Liberty Party. You cannot rule a state like a company by just reducing its expense. Every state has a task, otherwise its useless and will pass away in history." ~ Wilhelm v. Nassau |
