| Message | Mr. Speaker, I'm afraid that those are they main things to cut. The only other main thing to sut is the military, which we will not cut. We could cut recycling programs if that would be more agreeable. I would like to point out that article is science related and we are only cutting out the subsidies for the program mentioned. Please also note that only government subsidies are being cut from Article 5. |

| Date | 00:14:31, October 09, 2012 CET | From | Socialist Party | To | Debating the New Fiscal Policy Proposal |
| Message | You haven't cut any spending, you're just realigning subsidies. |
| Date | 00:15:58, October 09, 2012 CET | From | Socialist Party | To | Debating the New Fiscal Policy Proposal |
| Message | Also, we should probably wait until after the election to put this to a vote. |
| Date | 00:18:12, October 09, 2012 CET | From | Deltarian Conservative Party | To | Debating the New Fiscal Policy Proposal |
| Message | No that has cut spending. We no longer spend any money on the subsidies. We aren't realigning them they are being cut out all together. The only places to cut are places that your party has been against cutting |

| Message | How about the proposal as it is now? |
| Date | 06:30:52, October 09, 2012 CET | From | Socialist Party | To | Debating the New Fiscal Policy Proposal |
| Message | No, you don't understand, the budget has to be changed through an independent bill, these types of articles literally don't do anything to the budget. You have to go to the cabinet page, at the bottom there's an executive actions link, scroll down to finance, and click "propose spending bill". |
