| Message | Mr Speaker, Where is all this money to come from? We spent our budget surplus on the Spam Wars. I yield the floor. |
| Date | 18:50:19, November 18, 2007 CET | From | Luthori Tory Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2488 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We of the Luthori Tory Party endorse the most valid question of the Bible and Crown Defenders. We do not - in theory - object to such budget increases. However, without knowing how they are to be paid for, we are sceptical as to their advisability. I yield the floor. |
| Date | 19:08:12, November 18, 2007 CET | From | Falanges Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2488 |
| Message | We would see also an increase of the budget of the Defence and Internal Affairs ministries. |
| Date | 20:53:18, November 18, 2007 CET | From | Imperial Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2488 |
| Message | We have a 30 billion yearly surplus. This is designed to put the surplus to good use and encourage economic growth to generate even larger surpluses. |
| Date | 21:30:32, November 18, 2007 CET | From | Individual Liberties Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2488 |
| Message | I agree, first, with the question posed by the BCD. But more importantly, I would rather cut the sales tax on essential goods, thus reducing the surplus by 29 billion than increase spending. A laissez-faire strategy will encourage economic growth far more than increased spending. |
| Date | 21:35:37, November 18, 2007 CET | From | People's Revolutionary Committee | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2488 |
| Message | We need to stop wasting so much money on weapons. |
| Date | 22:32:53, November 18, 2007 CET | From | Falanges Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2488 |
| Message | Please read the announcement in the "Holy Luthori Empire Daily " |
| Date | 22:39:55, November 18, 2007 CET | From | Falanges Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2488 |
