| Message | The only change is to slash the bloated and wasteful justice budget. If we can get this done, we will move to slash other departments. But this insane waste of taxpayer money to help lawyers buy more yachts and Armani suits has to stop. End the culture of litigation! |
| Date | 07:37:50, November 05, 2005 CET | From |  Tuesday Is Coming | To | Debating the Budget proposal: lawyers are the only true parasites |
| Message | We will vote in favor if we can get a commitment on a few things: The state will provide a defense allowance for all defendents Justice responsibilities will be mostly shifted to local governments Our budget in the works, or a similar budget, is supported by GA. |

| Message | Agreed on the first two. But all budgets will be considered on their merits, and we are not able to support the misbalanced priorities in the Remnants budget proposal, which will hurt Lodamun's GDP and its people by misplaced cuts and misplaced spending priorities. Cut the fat first, then we can talk about budget adjustments and priorities. Justice has the most fat, we might even call it the Fat Cat department. If that means the Remnants have to join the Libertarians in voting in favour of bloated waste in Justice, then we will regret their decision but understand it and hope that the voters will deliver a less pro-lawyer Assembly next year. |
