| Date | 17:44:43, March 10, 2010 CET | From |  Coalition for National Unity [CNU] | To | Debating the Budget proposal of January 2906 |
| Message | Rationale behind Budget: The Head of Government's Office can streamline to become less bureaucratic. We are an Isolationist nation, there really is no need for such excessive spending on Foreign Affairs. This will decrease with each year we are in Government. Internal Affairs is a vague department to begin with, responsibilities can be outsourced to other departments. Finance is lessening as spending lowers and taxes are cut. We barely have a Military to speak of, thus this shall also be getting cut year by year. Transport is minimal as it is mainly private now. Education could always do with the boost to funding. Agriculture is not a major industry and thus need little aid. Trade and Industry is not as required as the economy is booming. |
