I like that fact that clear quide lines are now in place when SOW spends our money. It's going to those who need it and not useless studies such as "Women and how terrorism effects them in Canada" or "Woman and emergency measures" dah grab a flash light and some bottled water.

Changes for women

* Status of Women Canada will receive $10 million a year for programs such as combating violence against women and girls.

Changes for aboriginals

* The Aboriginal Skills and Employment Partnership will receive an additional $105 million over five years.

   

Though I don't think providing money to SOW for violence against women is as constuctive as providing money to children's agrencies to combat domestic violence, and to balence the funding between women's shelters and men's shelters.

   

Nobody should get anything more and every single social agency should have its funding reduced between 25-100%. University students should have to pay 100% of their education through low interest loans. Indian Affairs should start granfathering it's department with corresponding yearly budgetary decreases. And even though it is provincial, welfare beyond 90 days should be outlawed.

There should be no personal or corporate capital gains tax, corporations should pay zero income tax, GST should have been eliminated, healthcare should have been privatised, provincial transfer payments also eliminated and the civil service should be reduced to just enough people to administer the private sector tenders for the supply of services and goods.

DND, CSIS, CSE, Coast Guard and the RCMP should have each seen their budgets triple and more prisons should be built.

That would be a damn good budget.

   

It means I did nursing school for 3 years and was short one credit from graduating with it but I cannot go back to it.

   

y not?

   

What I am goign to do is become a teacher, teach for a while and then work on my courses to become a school counsellor. That is my long term goal, but it is a way off.


My point was, there are a lot of degrees you can get in university, and everybody assumes that once you get a degree you have a guaranteed 50k/yr job, but you don't. With a most bachelors non professional (like nursing) degrees you are really not very far ahead when you graduate.

   

/sigh

I don't want to talk about it, it is in an old thread somewhere if you really want to know. But in the end, I cannot go back and I don't want to.

   

I hear you Zoraja, I have a degree but it's useless so I decided to go the deploma route in business and it's been great. Sorry to hear that things aren't working for you, have you thought of applying to a police department for "Crisis Intervention"?

   

I like the way the budget turned out there seems to be a little for everyone.
Watching the CBC it seems that most people see the budget as Liberal styled.

   

No because you missed the point.

   

Which is?

   

great...more tax cuts...what will happen when the government runs out of money? We can't continue to do this.

   

It's an oh so subtle way of saying it is better to give some of the money back then to keep it. Either that or it has to do with a bunch of the Child benefit stuff in the budget. Jim is one smart sunuva gun.

   

Of course its their job to suck other people's dicks when the opposition has the levers of power.

   

I will give him that. I like Jim. Jim earned my respect when he killed the income trust tax break. He did something potentially politically suicidal because he really believed it was the right thing. I also think it was the right thing, which makes me like him even more.
