A shocking new report quietly released by the federal government admits that their finances could collapse in the coming decades if politicians don't make responsible choices.
Shocking!
Two days before Christmas, when most politicians and their staffers had long left their offices for the holiday break, the finance department released -- without fanfare or wide notice -- a surprising update on long-term economic and fiscal projections.
Shocking and surprising!
[...] The forecast also assumes that the budget won't be balanced until 2055. Projections show it peaking at $38.8 billion in 2035.
Well, THANK GOD for that carbon tax and killing off our energy industry, is all I can say.
