| Message | A more balanced budget. |
| Date | 21:17:23, March 19, 2006 CET | From | New Theta | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 2202 |
| Message | We cant support the cut in foreign affairs. Why not half the amounts on everything and let the money come rolling in. |
| Date | 21:32:54, March 19, 2006 CET | From | Bloc Socialiste | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 2202 |
| Message | The Foreign Affairs cut is due to the fact that not much happens in that department, if one thinks about it. Sure, we have our little intelligence agency, but that is basically Defence's jurisdiction. Oh, and immigration controls, too, but we don't have many of those in the first place. What is FA left with? Not much, with the exception of keeping the embassies clean and things like that. Three billion is enough. |
| Date | 00:28:31, March 20, 2006 CET | From | Progressive Darwinist Party | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 2202 |
| Message | Three billion is not enough.Raise taxes 3%, decrease spending by 180 billion? If you want to decrease spending wouldn't a cut in taxes be more reasonable and fair to the citizens? |
| Date | 01:06:55, March 20, 2006 CET | From | Bloc Socialiste | To | Debating the Budget proposal of May 2202 |
| Message | No, as we have to pay off the debt we have incurred. |
