| Message | If our surplus wasnt -28,150,164,058 JAK, i would vote for it. But i dont think the Jakanian taxpayer and worker can take any more strain. |

| Message | We allready have a budget, it needs to be changed obviously, which I am presuring CMAG to do as quickly as possible. But untill then, please refrain from any bills that would exasperate our budget situation. National dept hurts the workers as much as any other issue. |

| Message | The private sector could probably be more innovative and cost-effective a researcher than the government could. Regulation of prices, while well-intentioned, would probably keep drug prices artificially low - in essence, it would turn into a government subsidy for everybody. We'd rather just subsidize the cost of prescription drugs for those who can't afford it, not for those who can. |
