“This budget is quite disastrous. Harsh cuts everywhere without a plan and lowering the tax intake so radically, it’s not responsible at all.”
Reducing our deficit, recovering our economy transition package
Proposed by Libertarian Alliance · Passed 2 Sep 2024
Rationale
These changes are needed to promise our citizens a decrease in tax dollars, reduced government and of course decrease our deficit. The first months will be hard but this will help us reach our goals in the long term.
Figures show the previous budget where they changed the new value.
