From	Holy Eliyahu Confession
To	Debating the Shadow Budget proposal of December 2619
Message	We propose this as an alternative to higher taxes in order to pay for the social programs supported by the current government.

Date	20:22:21, August 11, 2008 CET
From	The Liberal Party
To	Debating the Shadow Budget proposal of December 2619
Message	We do not support any further cuts in Defense or Science and Technology. The Foreign and Internal Affairs Ministries do not need any more funds, they have a sufficient amount.

Date	20:40:11, August 11, 2008 CET
From	Collectivist Party of Lodamun
To	Debating the Shadow Budget proposal of December 2619
Message	How is this an alternative to higher taxes?

Date	20:51:04, August 11, 2008 CET
From	Holy Eliyahu Confession
To	Debating the Shadow Budget proposal of December 2619
Message	im not saying that this is a comprehensive response, but moderate tax increases combined with spending restraint is a tax policy we find more acceptable than current policy. as for Science and Technology, the current directives essentially make Science and Technology oyr Defense investment #2, and cutting it in order to fund education makes more sense to me.

Date	20:51:50, August 11, 2008 CET
From	Holy Eliyahu Confession
To	Debating the Shadow Budget proposal of December 2619
Message	and finally the foreign aid will be used to help regimes abroad and the domestic spending will be devoted to refugee assistance, as per our policy changes.

Date	21:00:22, August 11, 2008 CET
From	The Liberal Party
To	Debating the Shadow Budget proposal of December 2619
Message	So, you advocate spending restraint and you are giving away money to help regimes abroad. That's pathetic and hypocritical, don't you think?

Date	21:01:04, August 11, 2008 CET
From	The Liberal Party
To	Debating the Shadow Budget proposal of December 2619
Message	CPL, you are voting for this? That doesn't make sense.

Date	21:12:04, August 11, 2008 CET
From	The Liberal Party
To	Debating the Shadow Budget proposal of December 2619
Message	Science and Technology has nothing to do with Defense. The money given to Science is used to fund our space agency and scientific research. Defense-related research is paid by the Defense Ministry not the Science and Technology Ministry.
