| Message | \"Foreign investors may freely invest in national companies.\" NO NO A THOUSANDS TIMES NO! \"The government does not intervene in the market nor provide any form of subsidies/relief to industries.\" There should be a safty net for so that our our food, defence and other industries do not collapse.

| Message | OOC: The economic collapse is due to government intervention. Government nationalisation will lead to stagnation. |
| Date | 21:23:05, November 13, 2008 CET | From | Freedom Party | To | Debating the Liberalising the Economy |
| Message | OOC: Government nationalization is a terriable idea but the Government should act as an investor of last resort for vital industries so that our national security is not threatened. It is imperative that the Government sells their share as soon as the threat of collapse is over so that the stagnation that Public control of industry causes does not happen. (However the future US leadership will probally keep these industries under Government control, leading to futher economic problems.) |
