| Message | The Defence Budget is still too high. |
| Date | 13:06:57, July 29, 2015 CET | From | Alliance Res Publica | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 3883 |
| Message | It is only more recently in Mordusia's long history that the Defence Budget has been this low. http://classic.particracy.net/viewbill.php?billid=414619 We submit that maintaining the Defence Budget at its current level is low for an economic output of 3.6 Trillion. Not to mention that some of our neighbors are besting us as a percentage of spending. http://classic.particracy.net/budget.php?nationid=25 We realize that we may never see eye to eye with the RPP on this issue; however, it remains our stance that, if anything, we might consider increasing Defence spending, even if that means an increase in the low taxation rates our citizenry enjoys. |
| Date | 15:32:33, July 29, 2015 CET | From | People's Action Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 3883 |
| Message | We agree with all Budgetary levels except for defense. Either lower the Foreign affairs budget and transfer that to defense or raise defense spending along with a slight increase in taxation. |
| Date | 15:35:42, July 29, 2015 CET | From | People's Action Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 3883 |
| Message | Our neighbors have a much smaller economy but bests our defense spending by as much as a 2/1 margin. This is ridiculous. Let use our prosperity to increase defense, if we don't we are at risk of losing it all. |
| Date | 20:06:04, July 29, 2015 CET | From | Conquest Party of Mordusia | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 3883 |
| Message | We cannot support any increase in the budget while having no executive input in how the money is spent. |
| Date | 20:28:09, July 29, 2015 CET | From | Alliance Res Publica | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 3883 |
| Message | If the Conquest Party is going to vote no on any Budget Proposal, then they leave Mordusians with no way to ensure an increase in the defence budget. |
| Date | 22:32:25, July 29, 2015 CET | From | Fatherland Republic | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 3883 |
| Message | We believe this should move forward. |
| Date | 02:35:39, July 30, 2015 CET | From | People's Action Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 3883 |
| Message | Will vote no |
| Date | 06:11:25, July 30, 2015 CET | From | Conquest Party of Mordusia | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 3883 |
| Message | So we should give more money to a defense ministry that doesn't even want it? Minister Mulindi would just waste the funds. He is entirely unqualified to be leading our armed forces. |
