Description[?]:
| "Our other two bills dealing with the budget require at least a 30,000,000,000 SOL budget cut. We feel that this does the job. If it passes and we have a huge surplus, we will lower the lowest tax bracket's percentage." ~Ted Johnson, Head Chairman of the LPS and Prime Minister |

| Message | Cutting the Environment budget in half whilst increasing the Food And Agriculture budget does not make sense at all in our view. Beyond that, we oppose any cuts to funding for science and technology. The other cuts are reasonable and we would vote in favor of those if we instead saw a slight cut in Food and Agriculture and no cut in the areas of Environment and Tourism and Science and Technology. Why do you support cutting funding everywhere but then raising funding in food and agriculture? This seems bizarre to us. |
