| Message | Interesting use of the word 'pussyfooting'. Though we will have to agree with the proposed budget. In other words, sure. |

| Message | Again?! How many times do you plan to raise spending and how much higher will it go? |
| Date | 21:36:31, February 14, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa) | To | Debating the Budget proposal of August 2531 |
| Message | We plan to raise spending until we're spending adequately to meet Aloria's budget needs. We've stated again and again what we believe those needs are. Truthfully, 6% of GDP for defense is a little high. It can probably be capped at around 3-4% when Aloria isn't at war. Right now, that's about 20 billon ALOs. |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
