Date	21:08:27, July 14, 2018 CET
From	Unsubmissive Beluzian Workers Party
To	Debating the Budget balancing proposal of April 4423
Message	Do you think the nation will stand for extreme austerity cuts in public services? You basically proposed a 99.99583333 % cut in both Health and Education. And you proposed a 98.57142857% cut in Food and Agriculture. Is there any compassion, or sense of humanity within the BDP? Does the BDP understand what fiscal responsibility is? Fiscal responsibility is not where you cut everything just to get a balanced budget. It is not fiscal responsibility if you overspend on departments that do not benefit the citizens in any way. It is not fiscal responsibility if the money being spent is not spent in an economically and socially beneficial way. Privately messaging parties, saying that it's a matter of the country and calling for us to vote Yes, when the budget basically destroys our institutions and ruins society, turning it into a desolate wasteland is an irrational, stupid, dumb and low IQ action. OOC: We ask the player of the BDP to actually understand parliament, economics and politics first before coming here and creating havoc in Beluzia
