From | Holy Eliyahu Confession | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2613 | Message | Right, so huge spending projects started by your party are now being distributed to this government, manifesting themselves in incessant defense spending increases. How much more will they be going up in the future exactly? |

From | The Liberal Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2613 | Message | LRNP, Please don't say things you don't know about. That contract passed with a supermajority. Memebers f the current government voted for it. The corporation met their part of the deal, we need to meet ours, and that is to pay for what we received. We will propose budget increases as long as we see them to be necessary. The future does not matter now, what matters is the present. The quicker we pay the debt, the less time and money we will have spend in the future in Defense.
And the Defense Contracts have made our military one of the strongest, equipment-wise, in the world. |

From | Holy Eliyahu Confession | To | Debating the Budget proposal of July 2613 | Message | I know plenty about your pet project. they do in fact have records in this legislature so I can look up who proposed and voted on what issue. Furthermore, since you proposed this I think it is your responsibility.
We all want defense, but i'm not prepared to write you, as a FORMER government and current opposition a blank check to cover the absurd expenses you accumulated in order to build up our armed forces. The necessity is not to increase defense spending at this time; if anything it is to cut it. I will not vote to send another dollar to military contractors.
