| Message | We thank our esteemed colleagues the S.R.N.P for their support of this. This measure is specifically aimed at pouring a surge into our economy. We are, in thanks to Minister Thamion-going through an economic boom with revenues at all time highs, expenditures more than well maintained and administered. With major legislative action on behalf of the Senate in the last few years with the decentralization of the federal government in many programs this has also from our research had an impact on the economy at large. We would urge out other colleagues to vote in favor of this modest economic stimulus package. F.R.P. Spokesman, Ron Seigler |

| Message | I am sorry but I would like to see the evidence that we are going through an economic boom. I would like you to check the unemployment rates in one region along nearly 1 in 10 are unemployed. How can that be an economic boom? |
| Date | 17:08:34, April 13, 2008 CET | From | Meritocratic Alliance | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2560 |
| Message | The unemployed are probably all People Party morons. |
| Date | 17:34:35, April 13, 2008 CET | From | Federal Republican Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2560 |
| Message | Stand in the way of aiding the unemployed, People Party by voting No. |
| Date | 18:15:38, April 13, 2008 CET | From | Solentian People Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2560 |
| Message | I am not standing in the way of aiding the unemployed at all, I am voting against bigger budgets as our economy cannot cope with that and also it would mean our people will have to pay more money to cope with your bigger spending spree. I would also like to add that the FRP thanked the Minister of Finance for their hard work in giving us a strong economy- unemployment has gone up under the last few years and our current Finance Minister and aside from that the Minister for Finance has done nothing to secure us a good economy- so this bill/debate really is nonsense. As for the SRNP comments- very immature and petty as usual, but I would like to say your comments don't make sense as usual and It is the People Party which takes the biggest economic interest out of all the parties here. |
| Date | 18:21:03, April 13, 2008 CET | From | Autonomist Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2560 |
| Message | First, we have a surpluses of 50,826,112,415 SOL, this budget only increases our spending by 15,000,000,000. One of the increases is to Trade and Industry, in fact the largest increase is to Trade and Industry. The second largest increase is to Health and Social Services, and as we have a public health care and welfare system this will help those unfortunate who are currently unemployed or are unable to work. You're voting against this is very hypocritical. |
| Date | 18:25:39, April 13, 2008 CET | From | Solentian People Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2560 |
| Message | Our system should be a private one and we should rid our country of state intervention. Secondly, you shouldn't be helping the unemployed by giving them free health care you be helping them by getting them jobs and launching welfare schemes. |
| Date | 18:42:21, April 13, 2008 CET | From | Autonomist Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2560 |
| Message | Ok then, how does the PP propose we help the unemployment issue? If not by increasing funding to Trade and Industry how? And don't give me none of this lunacy about it isn't your position to fix it, you are a party who holds a solid percentage of the senate, which is a very exclusive part of our society, you are one of only eight parties that represent all of our population. Stop with this whiny complaining about the jobs other people our doing in our government and do something for yourself. |
| Date | 18:57:21, April 13, 2008 CET | From | Solentian People Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2560 |
| Message | Well first of all IT IS your job to fix it, I am not a part of the government and you should know what to do in order to sort out this unemployment issue which has got worse in the past few years. Secondly, I will give you some advise and that is for you all to back and support my privatization bills which will turn our services into businesses and part of the reason for the unemployment issues is because services keep getting privatized, then nationalized again and again and when these changes occur- redundancies and job losses have to occur with this. This has to stop, the best way is to privatize our services. Thirdly, I will not stop complaining about the jobs you and the people of our government are doing as written in our consitution it states clearly- opposition parties main aim is to hold other parties in government and within the cabinet to account for the positions they hold. Therefore, I will do just that- I am with the population of Solentia who are outraged Unemployment is on the rise and your party is content with that! Now why don't you do something about it, support our bills, stop the u-turns, sit down, think and get on with the real work of our economy and if that is too much trouble for you- RESIGN! |
| Date | 19:03:00, April 13, 2008 CET | From | Autonomist Party of Solentia | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2560 |
| Message | You are quite insane. You are apart of the government or you would have no seats. You do not have to be on the cabinet to be a part of the government. Over time it becomes more and more clear that the leaders of the People Party are really quite dumb. From this point forward I will be ignoring any statements made by these idiots and urge any party who has intelligent thought and understanding of how a Senate/Government/Society works to do the same. |
| Date | 19:41:49, April 13, 2008 CET | From | Solentian People Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2560 |
| Message | Oh for goodness sake you are the idiot. A person who is part of the government has to hold a position within a government department and have some influence on creating policies. As I am not part of the cabinet/government and hold no positions in the national cabinet I am not part of the cabinet nor the government- I am an opposition party, this is all explained within the constitution. The people who vote on bills are senators and opposition parties like every country has. To have this explained and pointed out to you in this way, just shows how stupid and insane you are. You are the ones who have no grasp of how the cabinet/government works. Just because you have seats doesn't mean to say you are part of the government you have to be appointed to those positions by the HoS or HoG. If you have seats your party is part of the legislature which votes and can create bills. I cannot believe you don't understand that! |
