| The Liberale Konservative Partei propose to adjust the government's spending budget to better address the economic and social situation of the Dorvische Republik (Dorvik). Mr Speaker, The Federal Budget is running on a Deficit of more than 3 Billion DDO and this should not be allowed to continue,Therefore my Ministry has proposed Temporary Reduction in Funding to The Ministries of Foreign Affairs,Defence,Finance and Internal Affairs.I would like to note to the State Council that this is only a temporary measure and we will be looking at bringing back spending levels to what it is now once we are able to run a healthy surplus. Thank you, Julia Schroeder, Finance Minister |

| Message | Why don't you raise taxes on the rich instead? You could also cut the Defence budget and save police funding. |

| Message | Mr.Speaker, I would like to clarify to the DSU Representative that raising taxes is not the answer and it will further construe investment and spending by individuals,And We have indeed made slight cuts to the Defence Ministry. Julia Schroeder, Finance Minister |

| Message | Well, if you had read through the proposals, this cuts 1 billion DDO from military waste. All deductions are made on changes in ministry efficiency, which will cut out waste and allow us to make these cuts. Käthe Grunebaum President of the Dorvish Republic |

| Message | Mr.Weinreich, As much as we would like to Help Poorer Nations,It is important that we first have a strong Financial structure which will ensure economic stability,and also,This Budget only cuts wasteful spending and the Dorvish Government"s Existing Foreign Aid commitments will continue.Unlike the Communist Party,We don't believe in Reckless Fiscal Irresponsibility such as buying hundreds of worthless statues and bankrupting a whole town.
