| Message | "Even I'll admit there are a few kinks in this budet proposal, but it will finally fund adequately our many necessary programs, rather than have us continue to try and make scientific advancements on 100 million zardugals a year, or try to promote our industry and trade with only 200 million. That will just leave our working classes out to starve." -Trent Borisovich Kalinyev, Minister of Economics |
| Date | 20:13:31, December 23, 2007 CET | From | Capitalist Party of Zardugal | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2505 |
| Message | "No. The cut in defence is insane." Robert Duffy, Defence. |
| Date | 22:05:10, December 23, 2007 CET | From | Irish Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2505 |
| Message | Ridiculous. Makes absolutely no sense. |
| Date | 03:52:43, December 24, 2007 CET | From | Saiserist League | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2505 |
| Message | "The only parties that would support the current Defense budget are those who support militarism and imperialism. We have our militias to support us, and we have numerous international organizations, including the Pan-Terran Red Army, which has doen a spectacular job fighting for people's rights all across Terra. Opposing this is merely a reactionary trick to use the police to oppress the people once more. Shame on you, Capitalist Party!" -Dmitri Humanilov, Revolutionary Socialist Spokesman on Defense "All we're trying to do is promote adequate funding for projects that will benefit the people. Since reactionaries don't care much about the people, being more concerned with buying weapons of mass destruction and lining the pockets of fatcat capitalists, your opposition is not at all unexpected. Nevertheless, Socialist economics is the future, and it is now." -Trent Borisovich Kalinyev, Minister of Economics |
| Date | 04:32:55, December 24, 2007 CET | From | Democratic Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2505 |
| Message | The defense budget is just too low and internal affairs. |
| Date | 22:34:12, December 24, 2007 CET | From | Irish Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2505 |
| Message | Parties who would support the current defence budget would also be ones who want us to stand a chance against an invading force. Have an organised force to fight them, and not depend on disorganised sparse militias. |
| Date | 10:38:14, December 26, 2007 CET | From | National Authoritarian Movement | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2505 |
| Message | The last 3 point get far to much money. Reduce it to make a moderate funding, and you'll get our vote. |
| Date | 12:48:35, December 26, 2007 CET | From | Irish Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2505 |
| Message | We can't see how you can justify almost doubling our spending, and still cutting the defence budget by 99.9%. |
| Date | 19:13:32, December 26, 2007 CET | From | Konservativa Respublikano Parti | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2505 |
| Message | The cut in defence is just too extreme. |
