| Message | Mr. Speaker, We do not support cuts in the environment and tourism budget as well in the education budget, the rest of the cuts seem reasonable, but we must however vote no. Cecilie Rahbæk (R) Spokesperson for Finance |
| Date | 22:06:53, May 12, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Conservative Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 3484 |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, we are unhappy about the proposed cuts to the police and army. However, we will support this budget as an improvement upon the status quo. The deficit needs to be addressed. Caron Rhydderch MP Minister of Foreign Affairs Chairman of the Dranish Conservative Party |
| Date | 23:23:07, May 12, 2013 CET | From | Dranish Hosian Democrats | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 3484 |
| Message | This deficit was created not by excessive spending, but by excessively low taxes. Therefore, raising taxes should be the right cure, not lowering spending which would only lead us into an ever downward spiral towards a race to the bottom. Francis Indurain De Facto Prime Minister of Dranland |
| Date | 23:33:00, May 12, 2013 CET | From | Grand National Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of March 3484 |
| Message | Mr Speaker, races to the bottom in terms of taxation are a marvellous thing, and anything that accelerates this downward spiral will be actively encouraged by the RFR. Deficits are never caused by low taxation, because it is always government's fault if they fail to adjust their policies to the money they already have taken from the taxpayer. Knowing the spending addiction of the fiscal leftists, we cannot even trust them to handle more revenue more thriftily than the current amount of tax money. Graham Breckinridge MP Member for Magadonia RFR Chairman |
