Feds are blowing money faster than my Mennonite neighbors.

wiseguy, not hard to kick that habit with the lack of doses we receive. Hard to develop dependency on something you don't get.

R5... so why do people and governments even bother trying to account for their spending if there is little or no intentions of paying it back?

It's almost as silly as the message from the book "The Secret".... like there's more than enough to go around and all you have to do is "wish" for it to materialize. With out doing anything for it? Sounds a little to good to be true! Wonder if a socialist wrote that book.

Oh goodie, around $77 a month increase to the Guaranteed OAS for Seniors. That will buy a lot of Mai Tias in Hawaii next winter.
And those billions to the natives...really, its like pouring water down a gopher hole and will produce about the same results.
They should be looking at eliminating the Indian Act forever and quit this silly piecemeal approach to solve their problems.

The budget was created by dreamers with no hope of ever achieving balance.

You are bang on wilagro.

Throwing several billion dollars extra at the natives will do nothing regarding their problem but actually will make it worse and lower their life expectancy.

A few newspaper articles are throwing out the theory that this HUGE deficit was created from a surplus to give the Liberals an excuse to eventually raise the GST.

I sure hope Trump gets in and puts the financial squeeze on those Liberal shits. I'll gladly take some economic suffering if I can watch Jr. sweat continually, looking over his back on TV.
