| Message | We think the Militairy spending is WAY to high in comparison to other departments. Thats the reason why we propose this new Budget proposal bill. As you see we stil hav a decent surplus. Further, the defense department still gets the highest spending. |
| Date | 15:50:51, May 22, 2017 CET | From | Republican Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of October 4214 |
| Message | Surplus means tax cuts not spending increase. Big government is not effective commies |

| Message | A big government helps the poorest. The tax rate in the Solentian Social Republic isn't high and We have a big surplus. So let's spend it so the whole nation can make advantage of it. Not only the wealthy |

| Message | OOC: As a former player in Solentia, I can tell you that the current budget makes absolutely no sense. While it is not my right to dictate what you can and cannot do in Solentia, I strongly urge you to make a budget that is realistic and not completely absurd like this current one. |

| Message | This is absurd you say? Check the budget now. We are paying 225 000 000 000 SOL for defense and 1 SOL for justice for example. That is what I call absurd |
| Date | 14:51:30, May 23, 2017 CET | From | Komitee van die Nasionale Herstel | To | Debating the Budget proposal of October 4214 |
| Message | OOC: I agree. Unless something is done, perhaps moderation should be involved. |
