| Message | President, This will allow both an increase in spending to use our deficit wisely, and will allow the other 6 billion dolgars to be given back to the people. Emely Kruspe Minister of Education and Culture |
| Date | 21:36:35, June 06, 2017 CET | From | Hosianich Demokratische Union | To | Debating the Pragmatic Budget Proposal |
| Message | Mr. Krupse, How those 6 billion will be given back to dorvish people? How? They could if they were invested in social services and for example Familianz promgram, and people would get those money back as social and family benefits. This will leave us with still a massive and unnecessary surplus of 6 billion. Nowhere near will be this budget balanced. Suzanne Heikler. President of the HDU |
| Date | 22:20:51, June 06, 2017 CET | From | Grüne Demokratische Partei | To | Debating the Pragmatic Budget Proposal |
| Message | President, We are investing 2 billion in both Health/Social Service and Education/Culture, which is important to not. We will soon be proposing a small tax change which will bring many people out of tax and balance our budget. Emely Kruspe Minister of Education and Culture |

| Message | Mr. Krupse, Those plans are shady and not precise. Again zero answer to our questions. Vague answer. What are you going to do, higher the income threshold, lower taxes or create a new income bracket? Neither will have our support, as we should be sealing the current system and not change it every year. This is called stability, a trait which you said this government has... apparently it does not. Suzanne Heikler, President of the HDU. |

| Message | President, You want a fourth consecutive election year after year and talk of stability wow. Emely Kruspe Minister of Education and Culture |
| Date | 22:51:48, June 06, 2017 CET | From | Grüne Demokratische Partei | To | Debating the Pragmatic Budget Proposal |
| Message | President, And I misspoke. We're decreasing taxes for the very poorest with the rest of the surplus. Emely Kruspe Minister of Education and Culture |

| Random fact: It is the collective responsibility of the players in a nation to ensure all currently binding RP laws are clearly outlined in an OOC reference bill in the "Bills under debate" section of the nation page. Confusion should not be created by displaying only some of the current RP laws or displaying RP laws which are no longer current. |
| Random quote: "No one today can afford to be innocent, or indulge himself in ignorance of contemporary governments, politics and social orders. The national polities of the modern world maintain their existence by deliberately fostered craving and fear: monstrous protection rackets. The 'free world' has become economically dependent on a fantastic system of stimulation of greed which cannot be fulfilled, sexual desire which cannot be satiated and hatred which has no outlet except against oneself, the persons one is supposed to love, or the revolutionary aspirations of pitiful, poverty-stricken marginal societies like Cuba or Vietnam. The conditions of the Cold War have turned all modern societies - communist included - into vicious distorters of man's true potential." - Gary Snyder |
