Message | The CLA's long term goal is for Defense spending to equal roughly 2% of GDP. This budget increases military spending to 1.67% of Hulstrian gross domestic product. |
Date | 00:49:31, March 09, 2010 CET | From | Konstitutionelle Monarchie Partei | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2905 |
Message | Only one billion crowns off from going into the red. I would've opposed it right then and there. Just my fiscal conservative outlook (though with particracy, it is impossible to be fiscally conservative; low taxes mean crappy GDP and the lot, I don't want that). Will any specific projects be funded under the Defense increase? Like, increasing the Imperial Fleet, adding some new fighters, or is this just general defense increases? |
Date | 01:10:09, March 09, 2010 CET | From | Liberaldemokratische Allianz | To | Debating the Budget proposal of February 2905 |
Message | It depends. If the peacetime draft were abolished, the Ministry of Defense would be able to allocate more funds for hardware. As it currently stands, a good portion (around 21 billion) of the increase would have to go just to paying, equipping, training, housing, and feeding the drafted recruits who shuffle in and out of the military. Returning to an all voluntary military with only a wartime draft would free up virtually all of that money, and tens of billions more. The remaining 31.5 billion is for air defense fighters and littoral naval vessels. Both types of hardware are required due to our recent colonial expansion. Air Defense fighters to protect our airspace. Littoral vessels; e.g. corvettes, frigates, patrol boats; are required to defend the integrity of our territorial waters. 52.5 |

Message | Looks like this passed right by me. Let it note for the record that the FAP supports this increase, even if we didn't make it for the vote. |
