“The Prime Minister promised to spend less, but he increased spending and doubled the deficit. Canadian families now pay $3,400 this year just for interest on government debt. The Prime Minister must stop this spending so Canadians can get by.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister promised to spend less, but then he spent $35 billion more in the last fiscal update alone. He promised to lower the debt; instead, the deficit doubled from just one year ago. He promised fiscal brilliance, but the not even so conservative Globe and Mail calls that “an inversion of reality”. Once an expensive Liberal, always an expensive Liberal. This year, Canadian families will write a cheque for $3,400 just to cover the interest on the Liberal debt. Why will the Prime Minister not stop forcing Canadians to pay the credit card bill, and just allow them to get by?”

“The Prime Minister spent too much money and doubled the debt. That spending caused high prices for food, gas, and housing. I want the government to stop spending so life is affordable again.”

“Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister told Canadians that he was the guy who people hire in a crisis, and then spent double what the last guy spent. Just five years from now, the Liberal credit card bill will reach $1 trillion. All that spending has brought us the highest grocery prices, the worst housing crisis and two-dollar-a-litre gasoline while everybody falls behind. The crisis guy is racking up more debt and promising that somehow it is going to be different this time. When are the Liberals finally going to stop the credit card craziness so Canadians can afford to live?”
