Message | Why does the Finance Minister have to make a budget for each year? Can't he maintain the last one? |

Message | That's because a budget actually is suppose to prepare government spending for every year. You can't use a budget for last year to also fund departments and projects for the next year as you'll run out of money or need more money. However you don't have to propose a tax bill every year. |

Message | We'll edit it to ensure that the proposal of a tax bill is exempted from that section. |
