| Message | a smaller budget would also compel more responsible spending, which we of course support. ooc: the way i see it, you pushing for higher and higher spending every term as a opposition party is just as disrespectful. am i completely out in left field here? |

| Message | OOC: It seems you don't understand what I called disrespectful. Yes, youare completely out of this one. I would never oppose tax cuts. I hve been the one to propose all the tax cuts with the exception of this one and the last one. I called disrespectful the fact that everytime I propose a budget or a tax cut, LLP comes right behind me and proposes one as well. |
