| Message | Mr Speaker, The time to reduce spending is now. Let's reduce spending to 300 Billion through major cuts to services. This will of course be followed by a tax cut to the lower and upper classes alike. Let's change the direction of Hutori toward a brighter future in which our economy can prosper due to the high consumption that will follow after the tax cuts have been put in place. I thank you all for this time in parliament. Andrew Smith GUP Leader |

| Message | These cuts to science and techology would devastate Hutori! Besides that, we have already gutted the defense budget. A scaled down budget cut like this we would consider. Jack Lawton Social Democratic Chairman |

| Message | Mr Speaker, You talk of cutting taxes yet you're not willing to accept the budget must be sorted? Andrew Smith GUP Leader |
| Date | 17:36:01, April 03, 2016 CET | From | Social Democratic Party | To | Debating the The New Way Budget of The GUP |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We do accept that the budget must be sorted, just not this way! This gutting of science would bring us back to the dark ages. Investments in science and technology are vital for the continued prosperity of all Hutorians! Jack Lawton Social Democratic Chairman |
| Date | 18:02:29, April 03, 2016 CET | From | Labour Party of Hutori | To | Debating the The New Way Budget of The GUP |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, We agree with the SDP. These cuts are too massive to happen all at once, think of the jobs that will be lost within these Ministries due to this massive overhaul, but I'm curious as to why we are raising the Vice President's budget but cutting every other budget? Needless to say the Liberal Party will not be supporting this measure. Sen. Blake Lexington (L-AD) Minister of Finance |

| Message | OOC: A Nimitz class carrier cost 500 million a year to maintain we have three plus three Queen Elizbeth class carriers. We have 570,000 active duty personel costing an average of $50,000 per serviceman. Our F-35s and Typhoons cost on average 1 million a piece in maintaince per year of which we have a large compliment. That's not to mention our other aircraft, navalcraft and groundcraft. And with medical and pensions for our servicemen, R&D and Foreign Aid all coming out of the defense budget were are these budget cuts coming from? |
