| Date | 20:56:59, January 29, 2006 CET | From | National Thomasian Party | To | Debating the The National Industrial Emergency Funding Act of 2176 |
| Message | the idea in our minds is to ensure that "vital" industries, ir.e those which ensure the continued survival of the state remain and once they are made profitable again can be sold back to the private sector to recoup the losses which the govenment has run up investing in the business or industry. Small businesses would not be affected as there is no corporation tax and extra money can be taken from the ever growing surplus. |

| Random quote: "A strong body makes the mind strong. As to the species of exercises, I advise the gun. While this gives moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball, and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun therefore be your constant companion of your walks." - Thomas Jefferson |
