| Date | 10:44:56, March 09, 2017 CET | From | Whig Party | To | Debating the Austerity Budget proposal of September 4177 |
| Message | This budget will end the possibility of a budget shortfall, it ask for significant cuts but these cuts are possible with the last couple of years of change in government policy when it comes to what the federal government does and doesn't do. |
| Date | 14:45:13, March 09, 2017 CET | From | New People's Party of Rutania | To | Debating the Austerity Budget proposal of September 4177 |
| Message | The LPR is not happy with the cuts to healthcare and infrastructure, but will tentatively support. |
| Date | 15:51:51, March 09, 2017 CET | From | Civic Republican League of Rutania | To | Debating the Austerity Budget proposal of September 4177 |
| Message | While the CRP largely supports this budget, we do wonder why the Whigs feel justified in *increasing* the finance budget in times of austerity. |
| Date | 19:08:29, March 09, 2017 CET | From | Whig Party | To | Debating the Austerity Budget proposal of September 4177 |
| Message | It is our opinion that the Finance Ministry has been underfunded for a very long time, also in past years we have ended the Central Bank policy of the past. This increased funding for Finance is to be used as funds to invest, in the past the Central Bank made the government money, without it the Finance Ministry will need to invest more and diversify it's investment. |
| Date | 21:32:59, March 09, 2017 CET | From | Civic Republican League of Rutania | To | Debating the Austerity Budget proposal of September 4177 |
| Message | Perhaps the Whigs are confused. The government has never run a central bank. |
| Date | 22:10:09, March 09, 2017 CET | From | Whig Party | To | Debating the Austerity Budget proposal of September 4177 |
