| Date | 00:46:02, May 14, 2008 CET | From | Communist Party of the South | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2575 |
| Message | We feel that we have to ask, where will all of this extra money come from? What is the justification for this thousand fold increase in defence spending? We agree with most of the rest of it though. |
| Date | 01:33:57, May 14, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2575 |
| Message | The seated parties have worked long and hard to trim down the budget to its current size. This spending bill will not pass. James Lott Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegation |
| Date | 11:07:49, May 14, 2008 CET | From | Telamon National Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2575 |
| Message | The nation has a surplus of 16 Billion each year sitting there doing nothing, we might as well invest that money into improving the services. |
| Date | 15:53:32, May 14, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Capitalist Delegation | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2575 |
| Message | Our party tends to agree that a surplus of 16 billion is excessive, and should either be re-invested or paired with more spending cuts to pave he way for a tax cut, but Finance Minister Fieren Goldmark is an experienced and proven handler of our budget, and we will have faith that he has a plan to deal with the lucrative surplus. James Lott Chairman Democratic Capitalist Delegaion |
| Date | 16:51:48, May 14, 2008 CET | From | Telamon National Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2575 |
| Message | He should make his plans clear, with such a high surplus we can push these investments forward and also tax cuts. Also as for our investment in the Defence budget we believe that our military should be well funded, these brave men and women who are willing to put their lives on the line for our country should have the vest equipment and recieve a good wage. It is only right! |
| Date | 17:45:02, May 14, 2008 CET | From | Radical Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of December 2575 |
| Message | I have proposed my own budget, which will spend a majority of the surplus in maintaining the few public services this coalition is pledged to maintaining. I do not feel that the population need another tax cut at this time. Fieren Goldmark Finance Minister |
