| Message | The goal of the new covenant was to spur economic growth the way the previous budget did. So far, it doesn't seem to have worked. This bill rolls back some of the spending increases of the New Covenant. |

| Message | If this bill passes, I'll submit the corresponding tax cut bill. |
| Date | 20:27:42, May 30, 2008 CET | From | Genuine Progress Alliance | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2584 |
| Message | Seeing as how Health and Education became top priorities in this bill, we vote YES. However, we would like to see a substantial increase in Food and Agriculture to around 2,500,000,000 ALO |
| Date | 23:44:27, May 30, 2008 CET | From | Libertarian Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2584 |
| Message | we would like to see cut to half of the current budget, but will vote for any decrease such as this really minor one |
| Date | 15:43:52, May 31, 2008 CET | From | Democratic Rationalists (PrCoa) | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 2584 |
| Message | We hardly think it's reasonable to characterize a nearly 30 billion ALO budget cut: over %15 of the overall budget, as "minor." |
