| Message | Hardly outrageous. The US is running at a massive deficit as it is. This, in combination with the spending reductions in the new budget, is merely an attempt to reduce that deficit before the debt becomes untenable. Interest rates in Sekowo are already reaching usurious levels. |

| Random fact: It is not allowed to call more than 5 elections in 5 game years in a nation. The default sanction for a player persisting in the early election tactic will be a seat reset. |
