Gov't spending under Tories is up 23%

[JLM]

Most of us want more money, more services at a lower price, lower taxes, cheaper medical, more medical, more help for seniors, more help for children, better education opportunities, subsidies for enterprize, so H.T.F. is the Gov't. supposed to do all this and maintain less spending? You can't suck and blow at the same time!

To achieve that you need to get goods to markets so profits rather than taxes pay the Social bills.

This government thinks only about benefit for corporations it has no plan for
services to people. No i don't mean EI or welfare. We have to balance what
is an expense and what's an investment in education and training in ensuring
there is a healthy food supply and determining what the future needs of the
country really amounts to. They have done none of this. They have this thing
about crime which is no worse than it has been and they are obsessed with
destroying the public service.
All the effort has been to fulfill the promises of latter day Reform beliefs and
the country has changed since those days more that two decades ago.
The time has come for the people to throw them out onto the street and get a
government that listens to the people.

I would agree that Gov't. performance is probably mediocre at best, Grumpy, but what other party do you think will provide a better performance over the long term? I think there is something to be said for booting them out from time to time as they say "a new broom sweeps clean", but I don't know if we've come to that time yet. I think every change in Federal Gov't. probably costs us $billions up front, so obviously it's not something we want to do often, so I'm not sure if the time has come and am even more unsure of who is going to put forth a better performance.

Corporations are spending in areas where Govt falls short. A good example is in health care. Try to find a hospital that hasn't had massive and ongoing Corporate donations and support.

these evil coporations are who provide us with good paying jobs. Governments Providing free services to people is not a sustainable way to run a country.

Both WUWT and SDA are credible sources; much more so than Mother Jones, Slate and Huffpo.

WUWT and SDA base their commentary on actual facts and provide the direct info/links.

They are also blogs.

So they are automatically out of the discussion according to you.

The ideologues say so... In this case, a guy that runs a blog says so

So sorry for your loss.
