Description[?]:
| The New Baltusia Party propose to adjust the government's spending budget to better address the economic and social situation of the Baltusia. HOG-Elimination of Prime Minister makes these cuts possible. IA-These spending increases are needed as President Newman has ordered that the Capitol Police Forces and National Police which are under-control of the IA to be completely overhauled on training, recruitment, etc. Finance- The Ministry has been able to save money through consolidation of offices by incoming Finance Minister. Budget was over-bloated in the opinion of the NBP. Defense- As a former CEO of a Defense contractor that had several contracts with the government, President Newman has declared that all major defense and weapon system at home and abroad be update and overhauled. This is a starting increase, as additional funds may be needed by the Defense Minister to ensure implementations. Such updates will ensure further safety of our nation and improving our defense and rapid response operations. Justice-Outgoing Minister Cynthia Moon asked for the additional 500 million to help cover prison costs and increase backlog of court cases. Arrests have went up along with local government requests for funds to help build new prisons. HHS-Long life age, private clinics being allowed, reduction of government services through law, are reasons to approve these cuts. These cuts are also minimal leaving a good amount of funding for the Ministry. EC-Services moved from national to local government, allowing cuts. The NBP have deemed the budget to be inflated with not enough backup of government services to qualify for such need amount of funds. FA-The Ministry is able to handle cuts as not enough services are performed to require for such needed funds. Crop subsides will not be effected. Please let us know if you support or not and why |

| Random fact: Cabinet ministers who disagree seriously with the head of government would usually be expected to resign. Parties within the cabinet may attempt to manoeuvre to replace the head of government though, for example by proposing a new cabinet bill or voting for an early election. |
