Message	As, previously stated, we do not believe that we should steal from paul to give to peter, especially when it's because of a child that peter helped to make but cannot afford.

Message	We cannot support this bill.

Date	06:38:05, July 21, 2008 CET
From	Spenocratic Party
To	Debating the Child Welfare Act
Message	Exactly, there is no monetary price on the love for a family. But just like any other investment, you should be prepared for the consequences. If we responsible parties want to have a balanced, limited spending budget, than we have to take out the welfare system.

Date	07:21:03, July 21, 2008 CET
From	Commonwealth Workers Army
To	Debating the Child Welfare Act
Message	On the other hand, the argument is often made that our workforce is getting older, and we have less 18-32 year olds proportionally than ever before. As a consequence, we're heading towards a situation where our economy runs into a stonewall of people living longer, and paying less into the system(s) that support(s) them. What we REALLY need, is MORE babies. We should increase child-benefits, as an incentive program.

Date	19:10:10, July 21, 2008 CET
From	Traditional Conservative Party
To	Debating the Child Welfare Act
Message	Welfare policies are to be handled by local governments. By passing this bill the federal government would still have the same amount of decision power as before.

Date	19:11:15, July 21, 2008 CET
From	Traditional Conservative Party
To	Debating the Child Welfare Act
Message	We are strongly against any form of welfare being provided by the federal government, but the federal government shouldn't restrict local governments rights to provide it if they wish.

Date	04:41:20, July 22, 2008 CET
From	Red Tory Party
To	Debating the Child Welfare Act
Message	"What we REALLY need, is MORE babies." Banning abortion, perhaps?

Date	08:13:41, July 22, 2008 CET
From	Commonwealth Workers Army
To	Debating the Child Welfare Act
Message	Sure. In the context of the 'argument' that was being made, that would certainly be consistent.
