Description[?]:
| We propose that the maximum limit for military spending should be no more than 10% of the GDP, the current GDP is 3,107,059,899,567 SOL, 10% of this is 310,705,989,957 SOL. The current budget for defence is 325,000,000,000 SOL which is over this limit by 14,294,010,043 SOL. We propose the following amendment to spending: GDP = 3,107,059,899,567 SOL, divided by 10 is 310,705,989,957 SOL. The current defence budget is 325,000,000,000 SOL. 325,000,000,000 subtract 310,705,989,957 is 14,294,010,043 We must reduce the defence budget by 14,294,010,043 SOL, giving us a value of 310,705,989,957 SOL. |

| Message | This can obviously not be entirely implemented and only over time to avoid the danger of a military coup. But because the ministry of enviornment and food and agriculture do not have a minister at the moment we will use a part of their budget to strengthen our military. as announced already. Signed Deputy under secretary of the ministry of defence |
| Date | 20:21:53, March 24, 2019 CET | From | Humanist Party | To | Debating the Military Spending Limitation |
| Message | Our funding of defence is quite sufficient, we cannot find the logic in letting other essential parts of government languish while defence is bloated. W. Bowman. Leader of The Humanist Party. |
