Lets not forget one thing: When Klein first got in he did not have "billions to play with"? In fact Alberta was in pretty rough shape just trying to pay the bills! Ralph campaigned on cutting spending...not on spending more...I doubt he could have been elected anywhere else but Alberta!
Love him or hate him he did get government back to sanity in his first term? A lot of people don't remember that?
You have to go back and look at who were the real clowns who got us into that mess? Getty gets the brunt of the blame although in fact he was doing his best to control spending? Lougheed was the bum who was like a drunken sailor and should go down as the worst premier in Albertas history! He gave away the store and squaundered our money....not Getty, not Klein!
The "old boys club" of big government socialists who control the PC party, eventually wrested control from Klein and got us back on the treadmill of enormous spending...so don't blame Ralph for that! Also of late we have a lot of immigrants from other parts of Canada who believe they have a devine right to the government tit!
