Dion refuses to categorically rule out deficit
KyleEverett @ Wed Sep 17, 2008 9:29 pm
Wow, what a world where a country can still be worried about getting into a deficit. In the states, we'd be overjoyed to have a few billion dollars for our deficit.

Well, yeah but there has been some hope in the form of $20 billion in net debt payments over the last 3 years. Net debt, national debt. What's the difference?

I thought he was talking about the Harper tories who we knew as the Mulroney cabinet. Considering he is talking about previous debt.

well its clear dio would need to run a deficit to pay for all his outragous election promises he is making everyday .
with the economy the way it it there is not the money there for them . but he continues to make them anyways . sounds like he has the wrong plan for the times .
Reverend Blair @ Thu Sep 18, 2008 5:43 pm
Nah, all he has to do is quit spending like Harper, then there's plenty of money left for real programs.

I would rather have the Conservatives with their foot in the mouth than the Liberals or the NDP with their hands in my pocket.

Social programs are a positive thing, Hardly. They are what differentiates the rest of Canada from the dullards and half-wits that represent the Conservative Party.

Sticks and stones what old chap, You should think back and remember the Rea days.
Bobs version of social stunk like a cabbage in a bog, mind you it takes a half wit to know one.
Reverend Blair @ Thu Sep 18, 2008 7:38 pm
While we're thinking back, let's not forget Harris, Filmon, Devine, and Vanderzalm. We should remember Mulroney too.

Social programs are for lazy people that refuse to work for a living. Why should working people have to support someone that refuses to take a minimum wage job, because they receive more from the welfare then getting a job?
