| Message | We wish to cut the defense spending by a reasonable amount and reform the foreign affairs and aid spending. We propose this on the bases of these following reasons 1. The stand-off with the United Kingdom of Beluzia and Bailon has cooled down, there is less need to spend on defense for war-preparation. 2. We are facing a budget deficit, this will be the first steps to lowering our unnecessary spending on wars. -Bryan Yeung, we are awaiting for RDF cosignature of this bill. |
