“We don't support the tax hikes, but I guess they are necessary, we can cut them back down again once the AI spending ends, or more cuts are made”
A budget for the ruthless fight against debt.
Proposed by National League For Freedom And Democracy · Passed 27 Jun 2023
Rationale
Unfortunately, and it pains me to say this, we have to take drastic steps. AI spendings are huge.
Figures show the previous budget where they changed the new value.
