MessagePaired with the new taxation bill, we would run a slight surplus. After many years of surpluses, we believe that a few years in the red couldn't hurt us. We want to hear feedback as to where we can put in more government spending to benefit the country.

MessageWe suspect some parties will say defence, and we would agree, but we would also like to see some extra LIK into Education and culture and also Science and Technology.
Overall however this proposal is to be commended.

MessageWell, the AM AAP wonders what the idea is behind the massive budget cut to the Head of Government, but that is the least worrying thing we see.

The Progressive Party is taking money out of law enforcement, social aid prorgammes and healthcare? The Progressive Party wishes to cut spending on food and jobs?

The AM AAP apologises, but we find this almost the exact opposite of a 'good' budget proposal.

Opposed. Emphatically.

AM AAP does not want to be remembered as a party that supported this... we want to be on record as a party that OPPOSED this 'anti-citizen' budget.

MessageIn order to support tax cuts for the poor, we had to make cuts in certain areas. Food and agriculture is acceptable because we no longer grant farm subsidies and we don't have any govt.-run farms. We'd rather cut the fat from the budget to help the poor rather than throw money away like the AAP suggests.

MessageCuriously... the AM AAP doesn't actually recall ever suggesting 'throwing away money'. If the Progressive Party considers allocation of money to social concerns, healthcare, or feeding the poor... perhaps they should consider changing their party name? The AM AAP cannot see anything 'progressive' about starvation and disease.

MessageIf the AAP has any concerns about our name, we will let them know that we are progressive in the sense of morality, but we are not a group of populists. We combine economic realism with that moral idealism.

MessageIf the Progressive definition of 'economic realism' is starving the poor and promoting the spread of disease... the AM AAP just doesn't WANT that kind of 'realism'.
