| Message | Mr. Speaker, This is an outrage, after years of carefully paying off our debt. Keeping deficit spending out of the realm of political thought for so long we now see its ugly head coming back. The socialist government has proven itself to be excactly what we thought they would be: fiscally irresponsible. With this bill we go from a stable surplus of 2.9 billion to a deficit of 1.8 billion LPD. We ask everyone to vote against this bill, we still need to repay our debts. I need not remind the LSP that we are still 112% in debt of GDP. Daniël Hardman Spokesperson for NLP |

| Message | Mr. Hardman, With the tax reform of the government, we are going to bring back 10 billions LPD, compensating for the higher spending. Furthermore, our reforms will boost purchasing power, effectively bringing more tax revenues over time. Need I to remind your Mr. Hardman, that during the previous cabinet term, the GDP has dropped by 3% after the Orange political crisis? Lara Coleman, Chancellor of the Exchequer. |

| Message | Quite rich that the Chancellor tries to teach me about economic downturn during a locally created crisis we eventually solved. Who caused said crisis? Oh yes, the Chancellors communist friends! The proposed budget and tax hikes are nothing but a total disaster for the nation: Consumption is down by 6 to 7 billion, Investments by 3 billion. This affects the government finances! We are now borrowing 2,6 billion a year! Will the Chancellor not take responsibility for their failure! Daniël Hardman NLP |
