| Message | Given the recent rise of trade protectionism in nearby nations, we the Progressive Liberals think that the government should be able to retaliate against such evil practices that do nothing but damage the economies of both states. |
| Date | 15:19:46, June 05, 2008 CET | From | Justice League of Cildania | To | Debating the Protectionism Retaliation Act |
| Message | A rudimentary lesson in economics is that trade barriers hurt the legislating nation far more than any foreign exporter in terms of costs. Let them make their follies, there is no point for us to add to our own cost of living in the name of 'retaliation'. |

| Message | Let me translate my post: Tarrifs = bad, reciprocal tarrifs = very bad But hey, don't let laws of reality stop you from sticking it to those other mean countries! |
