| Message | Mr. Speaker, This Budget only slightly trims the defence spending, an area I think we can all agree has been bloated for a while. Education and Health are the greatest benefactors. Other movements provide for the growth in Public Transport use and underline the need for Rutania to remain at the forefront of Scientific advancement. The slight increase in expenditure is easily absorbed by our surplus, or hopefully the revenue adjustment just moved in the house. We commend this budget to the parliament. Lester Lynch, Democratic Socialist Front Parliamentary Leader. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, This budgetary model will simply put our country into debt. The idea of increasing the expenditure because it will "easily be absorbed by our surplus" is just a nonsensical argument to justify this unnecessary budget proposal. In addition to this, raising taxes to the country's job creators is another preposterous plan to cause further harm to our economy. Why is the DSF so desperate to distort our current budgetary system which is in full stability? David Reilly, Leader of the Conservative Party. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, The Conservative Party needs to get a grip. How ridiculous. Lester Lynch, Democratic Socialist Front Parliamentary Leader. |

| Message | Mr. Speaker, Another ludicrous response from a totalitarian socialist. It is simply a waste of time prolonging this debate. David Reilly, Leader of the Conservative Party. |
| Date | 04:09:15, November 24, 2011 CET | From | Democratic Socialist Front | To | Debating the Budget proposal of April 3217 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, The CP acts as if we are armed and storming the houses of government. We proposed an incremental change to spending and revenue. We are such violent revolutionaries. Lester Lynch, Democratic Socialist Front Parliamentary Leader. |
