| Message | When we told you to increase the budget for IA, we didn't mean by taking funds from elsehwere... |
| Date | 01:41:29, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2531 |
| Message | USMC, we will keep a balanced budget and reduce government waste. If the IA really needed additional funds, you would vote for this bill. |
| Date | 01:42:55, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2531 |
| Message | (the impact on all other departments except foreign affairs is minimal. As it is, our foreign affairs department is being given excessive funding) |
| Date | 01:45:00, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2531 |
| Message | Oh, we should add: If this bill fails, we will propose new budget cuts, without the seat reduction, and also without the additional funding for IA. Those will almost certainly pass (as they would only require 50% support to pass). |
| Date | 03:47:27, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Revolutionary State Socialist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2531 |
| Message | Well, its not my fault if our non-existant police can't protect you from the numerous enemies you are making :) As it is, we may have voted yes for this if it did not include the reduction, but trying to sneak that by is very low of you, I thought you had higher standards then that :p |
| Date | 05:06:24, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2531 |
| Message | We figured it was all related to spending, so |
| Date | 05:08:04, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Normand Pluralist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2531 |
| Message | Oh, and for what it's worth, that's the one thing in the budget preventing it from currently passing; I figured that if I gave some of the more liberal factions a concession, they might be willing to compromise. Evidently not. |
