| Message | We shall oppose. This will drive up our expenses even more than it is now. I suggest the finance minister look into abit more before making statements. |

| Message | Yes there are lives we're talking about here but we also have a budget deficit that we need to get rid of first. |

| Message | So Rightist you are saying that money is more important than lives? There has to be a balance my friend. By allowing people to obtain medicine we prevent them from dieing, which incrases the amount of people who are able to work which there in turn allows for more merchandise to be produced and that would cause a increase in productivity. |

| Message | Do you want to put us into a bigger deficit? |

| Message | We have asked the members of government to comment on what the Ministry of Finance shall do, where we shall reduce costs. And asked for them to contribute to ideas (see seperate thread), but there seems to be no interest whatsoever from any party, especially the Rightish party to do anything about this more then to halt any progress of society. Where should cutbacks be made, the Finance Minister asked, with the hope of the government giving ideas and such, and support a move, but nothing has been said. And the Rightish party spoke so highly of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs being the ONLY one whom shall bother with the foreign affairs, now we wonder if the Rightish party has the same logic when it comes to Finances, which he clearly shows he has not. |

| Message | The cut backs should be that we should move things to the local governments and not do anything through the federal government. That's a good place to start in saving money. |
| Date | 00:58:02, December 26, 2005 CET | From | Redneck Party | To | Debating the Pharmaceutical Drugs Policy Update |
| Message | Move what things from the federal govt? It is the government's job to ensure a good living for all of our people, why let the local govts play favorties, keep it higher up and see how much live improves. |
