Message	Mr. Speaker, That is nonsense. The FJS clearly doesn't know what the word "before" means. The FJS needs to suggest a budget cut BEFORE they can suggest a tax cut, meaning they need to suggest a budget cut first. We will not run a budget deficit just to please these liberals and their corrupt views on economics. -- Trevor Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG

Message	Mr Speaker, A few months of deficit spending while we figure out how to address the gap won't kill us. Ending the tax will be a boost to the economy anyway. Amanda Greentree FJS Chair

Message	Mr. Speaker, I didn't ask the FJS to give us their misguided opinions. I demanded the provision of a change in the budget before we cut taxes. We need to know what we're going to cut before we decide to simply cut the budget. -- Trevor Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG

To	Debating the Ending the tax on food
Message	Mr. Speaker, If any party would commit to voting for this if we presented it with a budget proposal that would adjust revenue and or spending to make up for the revenue lost from the food tax we will do so as we are 100% confident that we can. Otherwise it is not worth our time. However, we are inclined to give little consideration to the GNRGs complaints because they oppose almost everything we try to do and resort to childish attacks, such as calling prominent members of our party idiots. We are generally inclined to just ignore their hostile nonsense. They can "demand" whatever they want, and vote against our legislation and the democratic process will continue. Amanda Greentree FJS Party Chair

Message	Mr. Speaker, We need to know what we can cut before we decide to cut our budget. This tax cut is just a way for the FJS to force a budget cut in the near future. They have shown that they have no foresight; they don't care what is cut. They just want to see a budget cut, and a sneaky tax cut is the best way to force a budget cut. -- Trevor Fertig, Chairman of the GNRG
