| Message | we would propose a cut in the head of government budget - why in the hell does one person need that much money to maintain an office - and in the trade and industry budget. subsidies are great in some cases, but we don't have to finance private industries. on the other hand we see the s&t, f&a and e&t budgets as way too low. we're quite happy with the defense cuts but we want to emphasize our concern that the military might try a coup d'etat. zogist military leaders have to be expelled. |
| Date | 19:29:14, October 11, 2008 CET | From | Constitutional Monarchy Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2650 |
| Message | I do not support. The budget was set like this because of Beluzia's needs. I was attempting to stimulate the economy, which had slowed thanks to the previous Republican movements. |

| Message | Barron Obaius, a PSP member of the parliament speaks: An extremely oversized military is NOT what Beluzia needs. Beluzia needs real change and hope, not rhetoric from the pirate elite. The economy will stimulate once workers are educated and healthy. Instead of investing our money in life-saving devices and programs, the Nationalists want to invest more money on weapons of death and war. |

| Message | Weapons fall in the industry sector, without which your workers would have no jobs. Industry is the vital sector of our economy, not flower delivery or whatever the PSP would propose. -Captain Hector Barbossa II |
| Date | 17:50:23, October 12, 2008 CET | From | Beluzian Defense and Federalist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2650 |
| Message | You want to destroy the military? How is that ever a good idea? We have enemies that would gladly make us their slaves. The only reason that we can sit here and even debate these issues, is because millions of beluizans are out there right now protecting us. Whether it is in ships and submarines constantly patrolling off the cost. Or troops in foxholes sitting on the front lines waiting. Or pilots that are constantly patroling the skies over beluzia.

| Message | we proposed some changes, unfortunately they have not been recognized so we have to vote NO, even if we strongly support the defence cuts. |
| Date | 19:26:37, October 12, 2008 CET | From | Aggressive Sexist Movement of Beluzia | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2650 |
| Message | stimulate the economy with an exploding military budget, sounds kinda crazy. |
| Date | 20:32:35, October 12, 2008 CET | From | Constitutional Monarchy Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of June 2650 |
| Message | It isnt. Arms manurfacturing has always been a major industry in Beluzia! Unless you have something to replace it with I suggest you leave our budget well alone. |
