fed budget

Why increase funding for CFIA all the
while reducing CGC and increasing costs
to producers?

Looks like the us got their debt ceiling raised.

Government spending and resulting gdp increase's is
a pretty interesting thing.

It use to be 1;1,then4:1,now i've heard its 16:1.

There is no plan b.

This experiment the academics are trying will not end
well.

yes smoking is terrible.
and i am sure not too many care.
esp. if your a non smoker
but i am sick of hearing the BS
that it is to pay for extra health care costs.

sask total health budget expense
4500$ per person.
average smoker taxes before budget
1900$ 2100 after.
smoker lives 20 years less.on average
what are the medical costs in the non smoker 70-90 year olds .
plus all the pensions paid out.

hip replacements,heart ,cancer in the end anyway.

it is a tax grab on an addiction.
stop pretending anything else

The big view is this:

The deficit has been in a steady decline. low and
steady wins the race. next, I would like to see
Canada abort its' debt. Entirely. Pars

Just back from Sochi and read this thread. Interesting to hear people talking about me - good or bad. I went to Sochi on my own dime. This was a personal trip - not Monsanto related work. Monsanto didn't pay for any portion of the trip and I was not paid to write the blog. Yes, Monsanto is a sponsor of Team Jennifer Jones and has been since 2007. And yes, I am Monsanto's corporate spokesperson. But I went on this trip as a friend of the team and the family. I wrote the blog to share with Monsanto employees who wanted to hear about my experience. And Monsanto has a blog so I asked them if this would be a way to share my personal story. For those who read my blogs and shared with others, thank you. For those of you who enjoyed it great. I appreciated the feedback. It was a trip of a lifetime and I am very proud of the team and so thankful that I made the decision to go. And if it somehow showed that Monsanto people are human and actually "okay" people, then that's a bonus. I am probably a tad biased, but I think I am actually a pretty good person. I certainly don't see how me writing a personal blog about the 2014 Winter Olympic Games helps Monsanto sell products.
