From |  League of Justice | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 3450 | | Message | Retsforbund believes that the reduction of the science and technology budget would be devastating for Kazulia's economy because it would damage our knowledge-based businesses and in the long run; the other businesses in our nation. We should rather increase it instead of reducing it.
A nation shall strive for being a technologic super power, that is Retsforbundet would like Kazulia to be and we do therefore vote no to this bill. |

From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 3450 | | Message | De venstregrønne agrees on the importance of science and technology however we feel that the previous budget was rather high and believe that science and environment should be getting roughly the same amount as they will in this current proposal. We also note that there are many private sector sponsors and funders of science and technology and feel that this is an area which can cope well even should government spending be cut back. |

From | League of Justice | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 3450 | | Message | You are reducing the science and technology budget with 10,400,000,000 KKR, this is an huge amount of money and will definitely cost a lot of jobs and cause less growth.
We could keep the science and technology budget at the current level if we reduced the defence budget with 8,000,000,000 KKR and the justice budget with 2,400,000,000 KKR, this would be much better for our country. This would show the world that we do not favor war and it will not result in a massive loss of growth and jobs. |

From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 3450 | | Message | De venstregrønne would halve the defence budget if the other parties would allow us to do so however our previous attempt to cut the defence budget (by a modest 14 trillion) was voted down. Hopefully in the future though our country can elect a progressive parliamentary majority in favour of slashing defence spending and redistributing it to more important areas. |

From | League of Justice | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 3450 | | Message | Well if there isn't support for a reduction of the defence budget then we can raise taxes for 10,400,000,000 KKR and reduce the justice budget with 8,000,000,000 KKR, which would allow us to keep the current science and technology budget. |

From | De venstregrønne | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 3450 | | Message | There is currently a deficit of 25 billion which we would like to eliminate in its entirety. We already increased taxes by about 80 billion but would certainly consider further increases if this would be more popular than spending cuts. |
| Date | 00:05:36, March 07, 2013 CET |
From | Logisk Synspunkt | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 3450 | | Message | Logisk Synspunkt believes that the rest of the 10 billion of cuts should come from health and social services as the government is paying for a very large amount of health care that should be left more to the private sector than to the government. However, these cuts seem reasonable and Logisk Synspunkt will vote yes. |
| Date | 03:39:52, March 07, 2013 CET |
From | Indigoblå Liga | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 3450 | | Message | We will vote yes as well. The Indigo League is committed to the advancement of science and technology in our country but feel that targeted stimulation of the private sector by a smaller budget through competitive grants and contracts can do just as well if not better than our previous strategy. We also strongly support keeping our defense budget the same for national security. The way to show the world we are a peaceful country is to stay out of wars, not by disarming ourselves. Other countries may not act in the same manner as Kazulia and there will eventually be an invasion we need to defend ourselves from. |
