| Message | We cannot decrease spending without doing great damage to the healthcare, education and welfare systems, and thus hurting the poor and damaging the economy, we cannot do it without damaging economic investment in this country, or we could cut defence and that would damage our defences against Zardgual. The Revolutionary Party has done a great job with running our economy, and improving our economy, we must not forget that the RPC's leadership on the economy, for the past 50 years has lead to our economy improving dramatically. |
