| Message | That is financially illiterate. National debt does not cause recession, quite the opposite in fact. It creates jobs and adds money to the economy. If you were trying to create a recession, then a sure way to do it would be to drastically cut government spending, just as this bill proposes. |
| Date | 15:17:12, April 07, 2010 CET | From | Humanist Alliance | To | Debating the End The Deficit |
| Message | We have enough surplus. We don't need to make cuts. |

| Message | Oh, sorry, I misread it. We have deficit. If we want to aovid it we could just cut 20M of military spending (a real trifle). |
| Date | 18:18:15, April 07, 2010 CET | From | League of Libertarians | To | Debating the End The Deficit |
| Message | Sorry for my Keynesian illiterate, recessions are natural in Free-Market economy, Government Intervention is really prolonging the recession by keeping poorly-performing businesses in the market, recession is a self-repair mechanism by clearing out poorly performing businesses and rewards better business models that serve consumers. It would end sooner if we just let the Invisible Hands fix the market for itself, yes there would be lots of unemployment, but that won't last long because the economy will recover faster and will perform better. |
| Date | 18:23:08, April 07, 2010 CET | From | League of Libertarians | To | Debating the End The Deficit |
| Message | if we can we'd just cut out all spending and let the market operates by itself, but we know it won't pass |
| Date | 18:23:31, April 07, 2010 CET | From | League of Libertarians | To | Debating the End The Deficit |
| Message | and also end all taxes |

| Message | Amen! ~Hope~ |

| Random fact: Particracy allows you to establish an unelected head of state like a monarch or a president-for-life, but doing this is a bit of a process. First elect a candidate with the name "." to the Head of State position. Then change your law on the "Structure of the executive branch" to "The head of state is hereditary and symbolic; the head of government chairs the cabinet" and change the "formal title of the head of state" to how you want the new head of state's title and name to appear (eg. King Percy XVI). |
