“The government is spending too much money. The Prime Minister promised to spend less, but he doubled the deficit instead. I want him to stop this spending and keep the deficit under $31 billion.”
“Mr. Speaker, red ink is flowing here in Liberal Ottawa, as the government puts the final touches on today’s fiscal update. The Prime Minister’s promise to spend less money quickly turned into a pledge to load up the taxpayer credit card and blow right past the limit. He could not even stay remotely close to the $31 billion left over by the last Liberal fiscal disaster. In fact, he actually doubled it. Will he end this costly credit card budgeting, cut spending or, at a minimum, cap the deficit at the already reckless $31 billion the last guy left behind?”
