RE:From John Diefenbaker to Harper Canada debt Well, thats what Liberals do . If it was up to them they'd spend every dollar we make and try to have everyone on the government payroll. We should all have to take a course in politics , economics, health due to diet and finance /stock market when we're young . The country would benefit tremendously . Most people have no clue what Liberal/ Democrat means . They vote on the basis of " he seems like a nice guy , young and great hair" Its an abomination. 40% increase in Federal employee headcount , 62% increase in their salaries and a debt that is astronomical Debt is like gaining weight . Very very easy to get it higher, extremely tough to lower it afterwards. They should have a rule that if there is a deficit in any given year , these clowns are no longer eligible for their pensions. Man , theyd clean that up in no time ! I would be so stressed out if I was as fiscally irresponsible as the government run by this boy with the infamous ast name.
