| Message | I am concerned about the enormous cuts to Education and culture and Environment and tourism. Whilst I support the idea of a smaller budget in the remaining areas and a tax cut to compensate the surplus thereby generated, I think we should maintain our budget in these two areas. Since your other bill on cutting Income tax is absurd without this one being passed first, I can't support that one either. I wish I had seen this up for debate so we could have discussed this before voting. |
| Date | 22:57:41, December 02, 2005 CET | From | Liberal Unitarist Party | To | Debating the Revenue and Spending Act of 2149 |
| Message | If we eliminated the cuts in these two areas we could still lower the budget 45,950,000,000 CDC instead of the proposed 60,450,000,000 CDC. That would give us leeway for beneficial tax cuts also, but maintain a better level of funding in these vitally important areas. |

| Random fact: It usually takes up to an hour for election results to generate. During this time, the "Next Election" date is put forward a month, which is confusing. Do not worry! In a short time, the election result will generate and the "Next Election" date will then correct itself. |
