| Message | Currently we have a surplus. We propose spending it on bettering national security and on giving the Maharaja enough resources to run an effective ministry. |
| Date | 23:41:47, March 30, 2008 CET | From | National Anti-Communist Front | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 2553 |
| Message | We agree, perhaps tax cuts are in order as well. We have dramatically reduced the state bureaucracy and it should now cost tax payers much less. OOC: did taxes or funding change under the communists or were their services magically funded? |
| Date | 00:14:22, March 31, 2008 CET | From | Supporters of Science in Design (IP) | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 2553 |
| Message | OOC: There was trouble before the communists, actually. We had a few parties who thought that deficits were good for the economy. I attempted to explain to them that they were confusing surpluses and deficits to no avail... Not that large surpluses are good of course, but their lack of logic frustrated me. |
| Date | 02:29:05, March 31, 2008 CET | From | New Conservative Party of Malivia | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 2553 |
| Message | OOC: Deficits are good for an economy if used correctly. Likwise a surplus, but it depends whether you want growth or not. A surplus will shrink an economy, a deficit will grow it. At least, that's basic Keynesian theory. |
