RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Bleeding Hearts"Incessantly huh? Name a Prime Minister that lowered the debt level."
Lowering the debt level isn't the issue.. its the increasing that's the problem.. but seeing as how you asked.. there's a number of them.. Quote: - Upon completing his term in 2019, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is projected to be the largest accumulator of federal debt per person (5.6 percent) among prime ministers who did not fight a world war or experience an eco¬nomic downturn during their tenure. Sir Mackenzie Bowell and Sir John Abbott are the only other prime ministers in Canada’s history who have increased federal debt without facing a global conflict or an economic downturn.
To put things in perspective... unfortunenately the image wouldn't cut and paste.. Courtesy of the Frasier Institute..
Figure 3a: Percent Change in (Inflation-Adjusted) Debt per Person over Prime Ministerial Tenures Without a World War or Economic Downturn
Justin Trudeau - 2015 - 2019 debt per person up 5.6%
Bowell - 1895 debt per person up 4.7%
Abbot - 1891 debt per person up .7%
McDonald - 1870 - 1872 debt per person down 1.7%
Clark - 1979 debt per person down 2.9%
Pearson - 1963 - 1967 down 6.7%
Martin - 2004 - 2005 down 7.6%
Cretein - 1994 - 2003 down 13.3%
And that's what you get when you vote in someone who doesn't concern themselves with budgets or have the opinion that "bugets balance themselves"... LMAO..! Seems the accountants have a different view.. LOL..
