| Date | 20:48:26, January 03, 2006 CET | From | Peoples Front of Malivia | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 2165 |
| Message | The PFM agrees in most, but why cut the budget of internal affairs in half? Can we afford this? This area is important and regarding among a lot of other things the peoples safety ect. |
| Date | 23:09:59, January 03, 2006 CET | From | Malivia Democratic Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of November 2165 |
| Message | I like the changes but also think internal affairs was cut a little too much |

| Message | Our police force is also funded at the local level thus we feel that we need not have as high of funding in IA as we had. As for justice we have a fairly permissive society thus we do not need large jails and our courts should not be tied up with trivial matters. For these reasons we suggest the funding levels given. Together they are over 10 percent of the budget so they are still quite significant funding levels. |

| Message | OOC: for comparison looking at US budget for 1999, justice gets 1.5% acording to: http://www.gpoaccess.gov/usbudget/fy01/guide02.html#Chart_2_2 |

| Message | Ok from now on I'm gonna start using real life examples even though others told me you can't do it when I first joined but everyone seems to do it anyways. ML, why would you cut food with more immigrants? More people means you need more food. |

| Message | OOC: I included the real life example since I don't really expect most of us to know how much various agencies get in funding. Some RL examples are ok, but we try to avoid them. The policy when Malivia started out was that studies and factual data where ok, but drawing comparisons or refrencing RL events was not. So in that instance my quote would be not relevant to the game debate. I only include it to give an idea of funding levels and not as a matter for in game debate. Thus the OOC prefix. |
