| Message | I agree with the increase in Education and Health, but I am in disagreement over lowering Trade and Industry in favour of Infrastructure and Transport. I will ask my party to remain true to Fieren Goldmark's belief that Infrastructure and Transport are best left to the private sector, and so will have to vote no on this budget. Umberto Caccini Leader of the Radical Party |
| Date | 15:50:10, May 02, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2570 |
| Message | My party aims to minimize direct government interference in trade and industry, and I believe the best way to insure that is to cut government spending in that field. I allocated some of the cut funding to Health/Social Services, Education/Culture, and Infrastructure/Transport. My party have long supported the ensurance of an educated and healthy citizenry, and I believe a small increase in funding to transport and infrastructure would allow us to improve public transportation. Public transport as a necessity to maintaining a healthy environment and conserving energy, which could save each citizen thousands of TPD each year. The 1 billion TPD cut will be packaged into a tax cut I am planning for the near future.

| Message | Since it coincides with a tax cut, we will recant our previous rejection of the budget, but would prefer an overall downsizing of both the Trade & Industry and Infrastructure & Transport in order to gain an even larger tax cut. Umberto Caccini Leader of the Radical Party |
| Date | 19:06:19, May 02, 2008 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2570 |
| Message | We will not support any budget proposals until the Defence budget is raised to at least 40 million TPD. I personally call for a raise in the military budget. We can no longer nickel and dime our military, it is a matter of national security. Abbas-Ali Amid Zanjani Minister of Defence |
| Date | 23:23:04, May 02, 2008 CET | From | Rightful Radical Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2570 |
| Message | As we thought that the DCD can handle Finances. Wise, we have stepped into a coalition with a worthy man. RRP |
