There will never be a balanced budget or the end of the deficit when the government is forced to borrow money at interest. Then they have to borrow more to bay down the interest and run the government. Politicians keep giving themselves raises to screw up the economy so that the worker drones are permanently enslaved to the dept, personal, federal and provincial.
It is kind of amusing to watch the worker drones trying to beat a system that was designed to enslave them when they don't even realize they are slaves.

Liberal governments delivered 9 straight surplus budgets - then Harper took over.

"Trudeau and Trump are allergic to balanced budgets"- They are allergic to the electorate's demands! The only outcome they are really interested in to get reelected, so they can continue to skim off the trough. Does anyone really think the same folks who will run up credit card debt without a qualm really give a shit about fiscal restraint?

Depends what is classified as a "balanced budget". If I was able to convince all my kids and grand kids to pay all my bills I'd have a balanced budget too! :) :)

That's too bad. My budget has a surplus and I don't need my kids and grandkids to do it. No wonder you're a trough feeder.

That's a copout used by trough feeders. Klein and Chretien both balanced the budget and remained fairly popular. The only ones angered were people like you, living off the government tit.

Oh, Hey ! I found a picture of Petroglyph on his combine -


Awesome. Thanks. I love running the combine and watching all the wildlife scatter.

A porcupine can do a real number on the drum and sieves.


That's bad tho. Tulip Auto Parts LLC gets f-ck up the hoop.

Another lie. You don't remember bragging about how you kids will inherit a mortgage?

I forgot to mention I bought a shiny new one an S770.

John Deere is flying me to East Moline Illinois in April. Each unit is custom built for the owner and they invite buyers to be there to watch it being built. They measure me and build the leather seat to fit perfect. Steering wheel and operating controls are custom mounted as well. Even the ladder to get in and for the tank is custom height.

That puppy cost me more than you've made in your lifetime. $475,000 CAD with two headers one for sunflower/corn/ hemp and the other for grains, oil seed and pulse crops.

They swap out in minutes. It used to take 4 hours to unbolt and bolt. The drum speed is adjustable on the fly. No more swapping belts.

The bet I offered is still on the table. You pay me $10,000(at harvest) to lease a quarter section and I'll grow it organically

Pick a grain or oilseed and we'll see who has the bigger yield, grade, and market.

It will cost you extra for me to store it and ship it to and from a seed cleaning plant because buyers don't want it. Organic has to weed seed free. Viterra, Louis Dreyfus, Pioneer, P&H won't accept it otherwise. There is no dockage on organic.

I know I'll gnet $8800 a quarter off my GMO barley, canola, or non GMO wheat which gets good ol Maverick which is2-4-D and Roundup tank mixed which kicks ass on thistle, cosha, plantain, clover, mustard, fox tail, sweet grass, wild oats and kinnickinnick.


So If I did red spring wheat with herbicide and fertilizer ay $250 an acre input and you did organic at $140.

After the lease, seed, diesel, cartage, cleaning, equipment and delivery costs you'll probably make $20 an acre $3200 a quarter and I'll make $55 an acre or $8800 a quarter.

Noncarinogenic.

Same goes for the 2-4-D

I bought 9 sections the Mrs shares her 1 with our nephew who bought two more of his own giving our Corp 13 so far.

Come out sometime. You'd like it. There is meth galore and pills of every flavour that can be put on a Treaty Card in Slamsack.
