But services are cut way back, public assets have been transferred to the private sector for inadequate returns, tax burden has been transferred to the middle class, necessary infrastructure is crumbling and unnecessary infrastructure is flourishing....we've got nothing of real value to show for that increase in debt. Our economy isn't anywhere near the best in the world and our prospects are as poor as they have been in decades. Public trust in government has been destroyed and the current representatives of the party are incompetent and dishonest.
Trickle down and supply side economics are fairy tales. There are times when it serves the economy and the residents of the province for government to use debt as a tool to manage and maintain the economy. The government needs to use borrowed money to support economic capacity in the economy during bad times and use the resulting increased revenues from the peak economic periods to pay down that debt rather than handing it out as tax breaks and royalty holidays to their supporters. It takes a particularly incompetent government to increase debt in the good times and require repetitive trips to the trough for further assistance to make ends meet.
We can't afford another Liberal term and we can't afford a proven incompetent leader like Clark at the helm.
I suppose I agree with everything you said.
We just disagree on who should be given a chance to fix it.
I also wouldn't put this down for NDP just yet.
There was a poll the other day on CKNW and liberals had major support over all other parties.
People still to remember NDP and are still scared to death.
I must say that Dix is not as bad as I would have expected him to be.
